    what is this?

Applescript gadget that politely saves volume/mute settings, unmutes, sets
volume very low, whispers some text provided on the commandline (the first
CLI argument only) then politely restores the volume/mute settings. Polite!
Don't install this to unattended MacBooks. Definitely don't make it run
as a cron job...
