I came across a post recently that explained how you can set your Mac's volume to "ultra-quiet" via a combination of keyboard shortcuts. This sets the volume to a barely audible level. The problem of course is that it's barely audible. Here's a better way that allows you to set the volume to the optimal level for you. Related posts:

When Apple introduced Time Machine in OS X 10.5 Leopard, it was a glorious day for everyone who struggled with overly complicated backup software. You simply turn it on and forget it, resting easy that your drive is constantly being backed up in case of drive failure. The key word that soon frustrated many users is constantly. Thankfully, this handy piece of free software offers you the ability to take control of Time Machine. Related posts:
