Hi,

	You know I've been wondering for a while what the boot-up
blinking and the boo-di-didi-didi-didi-didi-doot from the speaker
indicate.  Obviously, the sound indicates wheter or not you've got
your audio cable put on correctly.

	So far, I haven't run across a description of the blinkey
LED in the tech dox.  It'd be neat if it was smart enought to blink
some sort of error code if it detected a hardware failure that
prevented the monitor from operating.  I guess, at the very least
it is positive indication that the mahcine is rebooting, which
would help in spotting the occasional irrational software that
causes a reboot sans guru visitation.
