Chris, I have a wallstreet also (actually two). I have notice some odd startup behavior with them both. Sometimes I get the long startup delay after the chime and sometimes I never get the startup chime but everything starts up normally.
I have noticed that resetting the PRAM fixes the problem but sometimes it sticks and sometimes it does not. Do you see the same situation?
