Oct 03, 2007 - MacBreakZ now allows all its screen, sound and voice output to be disabled for periods ranging from two hours to the remainder of the day. This is particularly useful for those occasions where the user wants to be certain not to be interrupted, such as when giving an important presentation, working to a tight deadline, or just enjoying a game or a movie.

This new release allows for such a regular break schedule.
