Right. Christina has said: "I can turn it on, the power light
comes on, I hear the hard drive spinning, and the fan is going.
But, there's no startup chime. Because I don't have a keyboard
or a monitor or it, I can't tell if it's really doing anything
or not."

It has been my experience that some computers (not necessarily
Macs) will not boot up without a keyboard being physically
connected.
