New aluminum iMac, Leopard etc - any way to turn off the boot chime?
Having headphones plugged in on my old G3 worked, but on this machine it doesn't and I still get the boot chime from the speakers.

Hello,

Please see this MacRumors guide (http://guides.macrumors.com/Psst) for an app that will allow you to change the chime behavior.

Also see this thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=134236) for more background info.
