beeps!!

[Nori Heikkinen <nori@sccs.swarthmore.edu>]

today i boot up my computer (dell inspiron 8000), having successfully
installed debian on it friday afternoon, and now it beeps at me,
sporadically, and in three octaves!  same note (D i think); different
register.  i can't isolate what's causing it -- i'm plugged in, so it
shouldn't be a battery issue ... this has never happened to me before!
what is it?

thanks,

</nori>
