StartupSound.prefPane: Necessary Mac Software for Screenwriting Expatriates

I couldn’t find a way to turn off the start-up sound on my Mac without installing this program: StartupSound.prefPane.
There was some question as to if it would work on a modern Intel MacBook. I had no trouble. I don’t know why this isn’t just built into the operating system, except Steve Jobs is an arrogant son of a bitch.

The majority of laptops I’ve seen of travelers are Macs.
Because of the Jobs & Pixar connection Wall-E (in the distant future) starts up with that Ta-Da sound. I don’t want to hear that sound past 2012.
Steve Jobs you’ve been warned. Watch it, buddy.
