Macbook closed and working

Hi!

I'm looking for a program that makes the macbook do some simple thing that we can do on any windows notebook: close the note and it keep running normal. I use a 24" external screen on my mac and an external mouse/keybd, so i want to keep it close, but still awake.

ANy clues?

Man, you gotta use the search function of these forums. *shakes head*
Keywords: "clamshell", "closed lid", "macbook with external monitor"... etc. etc.

Sorry, no fish to give you but now you know how to fish. Go get that fish!

Why? Why don't you do what I do and use the MacBook as a second monitor when it's plugged in to the external?

Because i don't need it and it's is, in my case, a little uncomfortable.
