Bah! Humbug!

All that rot about the start-up chime fading... I just withdrew the
headphone output jack and it came blasting out of the Mac's built-in
speaker at Krakatoan volume. It was just connections.

this nonsense of trying variations in the software.

So now it's my Norton (geddit?) problem; just down to replacing the system
software. And in the mean time it still works fine...
