Despite the previous flame (re: the Mac's beep upon startup), the IBM PC does indeed beep upon startup (CNTRL-ALT-DEL reboot or power-up boot), as an indication from the BIOS ROM startup routines that all is well, or that all may not be well. I am sitting at a PC which beeped at me not more than 20 minutes ago. -Tom Morris, UNC School of Public Health. "There are no opinions expressed here."
