Which OS are you running? It sounds like you're running OS9, but I'll tell you
how to in both 9 and X.
In OS9, you can have the sound in the Control Strip. Go to Control Panel ->
Control Strip and turn on the control strip. I don't have an OS9 machine handy
right now, but I believe that the sound should be in there by default. If not,
look in the Control Strip and Sound preference and see if there's any option to
Show in Control Strip.
In OSX, in the Sound preference pane, check the box where it says Show in
Menubar.
Another handy thing would be to get a newer model of Apple keyboard that has
the volume buttons in the upper right hand corner. Any keyboard after about
2001 will have them.
Hope that helps!
