Fans made the 24 CTU Ringtone is available for free!

Probably one of the most comprehensive 24 fan-sites around (these 24 fans like their databases neat, tidy and complete!) they have finally broken the sound barrier and made the CTU office phone ringtone from 24 available for free in .mp3, .mid and .wav formats! It's very good quality, and I've been using it on my phone for quite a while now - always the temptation to answer, "This is Bauer!" at the first ring though.

Incidentally, a bit about the technology used by the Los Angeles Counter-Terrorist Unit (CTU) as seen on 24 (since I'm *such* a geek!):

Computers: Hewlett Packard desktops and Apple Powerbook laptops
Office Phones: Nortel Digital Phones. I've been in an office that use Nortel digital phones, and the CTU ringtone used is actually a real, in-built ringtone provided by Nortel on some of their digital phone models.
Office Chairs: Dexler ergonomic office chairs, high-back model in blue, used in the meeting rooms and board room. Each chair cost more than $1,000 US dollars (my office has a few in black). [At least we know they care about analysts having backaches by spending more than 24 hours at a go in the office!]
