Start up chyme

[zacl87]

My chyme is out of control. It's quite or loud regardless of my volume settings. Don't really understand what determines its sound..

Is it supposed to be the same volume every time? Sometimes I don't even get one.. I know someone will suggest to reset the pram, and that will probably fix it, but I still wont understand..

Any explanations? Do other peoples chymes act like this?

I think if you hold down the mute button while it's starting up, it'll mute the chyme. Not 100% certain whether this still works or not, but on my old G4s it used to!

Cheers for those. Still not sure why it's different every time though; suppose it doesn't really matter.

From Wikipedia:

Chyme (from Greek "χυμός" - khymos, "juice") is the semifluid mass of partly digested food expelled by the stomach into the duodenum. In other words, chyme is partially-digested food.

That's gross! How do you clean it up? 😉

I decided to look in here to see if you noted where you're from. But then, that spelling of "chime" doesn't seem to be a proper variant anyway. Catch you next tyme.

LOL! I had no idea my Mac is actually puking every time I start it. 😀

Seriously though, the chime does mean something. It means that the computer has detected that all the necessary components are there to start itself - the chime is different if there's a problem, and the computer probably won't start up. It's just a way of knowing the boot (start-up) went OK.
