	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.
