This would be nice if it actually worked... but tried for around 30 min restart... and all.

But no, the little cute mac still squicks when started.

I am using tiger, but no luck

This does nothing at all. Installed fine -- it asked for an admin password -- and then said it was successful, but several restarts & logouts later I still have a loud startup chime/gong. Nothing evil seems to have happened, but this definitely did NOT perform what it claims to do. Maybe a version 2.0 will be better.
