Hi Bruce;

One thing that I have run into when doing upgrades, and security patches. They have a NASTY (as far as I'm concerned) habit of reseting preferences to whatever APPLE thinks is the right setting. I.E. sleep settings, on the Power Saver pane.

A faculty member (my last OS 9 holdout!) finally upgraded his beige G3-266 to a spanking new G5 tower.

On a couple occasions he (or someone walking past his office) has heard an odd noise coming from it, described as "the sound a phone makes when it's off the hook too long".

The one time it happened when he was there it was not accompanied by any alert or other notification in the Finder, though it's possible he missed it (he's in the throes of switching from OS 9 to OS X)

He's not running iCal or any other scheduling program that would have an alarm.

Any ideas?
