iBook, G4, Mac OS X 10.5 - it beeps at me, doesn't come through the
speakers, happens even if sound id switched off. Once every minute or
so, one beep. Just now, two beeps, in quick succession (that's new).

it's been disconnected from power cord, had plugged it back in.
Unplugged it again, still beeping.

Any thoughts?

Run Console and look for anything happening when it beeps?

It's stopped - I unplugged the power cord and plugged it back in and
hasn't beeped since. And MT Newswatcher (see other thread) also behaves
itself.
