Does any one know if there is away to get my
G4 1.2ghz iBook (OSX 10.3.9) to be able to run with the lid/cover/ screen in the closed position without it going into sleep mode? I Ask since I do Live recordings and often it would be great if I could start recording and then close the cover and stow the iBook away,since I can monitor any clippin levels on my presonus firebox.... I thought I heard that this couldbe possible... thanx -------------------- ~ Archival Audio ~

When I did my inquest, I found out that powerbooks in fact are cooler while operating this way (a guy wrote about this). Now, it all depends on the way heat managing and evacuation is done, and it'd be something I'd worry about. There are solutions if it's really an issue: use a metallic surface to have the ibook on, support surfaces with fans you can buy too… (or build your own with big fans running slowly and silently, time to DIY)

Oh
yeah the other reason this would be cool is that when you go to shutdown, if you don't wait for the iBook to turn off it goes into sleep mode... thats Frustrating! I'd like to be able to hit shutdown and close the lid and have it turn off,not go to sleep but it sorta sounds like this ain't easy thanx again for all the help and suggestions -------------------- ~ Archival Audio ~
