> Want the fastest way to put your Mac right into a deep, sleepy-bear
hibernation-like sleep (no whirling fan, no dialogs, no sound nuthin just
fast, glorious sleep). Just press Command-Option and then hold the Eject
button for about 2 seconds and Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. It doesn t get much faster than
that.
