Tip: Put your Mac to sleep quickly and quietly
You know how sometimes choosing Sleep from the Apple menu takes forever to actually go to sleep, and even then you can still hear the fan whirring and the hard disk spinning?
There’s a great keyboard shortcut that’s faster and quieter:
Press command-option-Eject to put your Mac to sleep quickly and quietly.
This puts your Mac into a sleep so deep there’s no noise of any kind. No fan. No hard disk.
Hurray, no more spinning beach ball of doom or noise. I love your site (even though it isn’t that well designed)!!
