Next message: Tom Roth: "Re: [WinMac] breaking glass sound on startup"
That breaking glass sound is better known as the Chimes of
Doom. It usually happens when there is a hardware problem on the
motherboard or with the memory.
I'd suggest trying to replace the memory in the computer. If
the problem doesn't go away you're probably looking at a new
motherboard.
