Hi!
Does anyone here know if it's possible NOT to put macbook to sleep by closing it? I'm using an external display at home and don't really need my mac open at that time.
Thanks!

Two ways to do it:

1. Operate in "clamshell" mode. See this LINK.

2. Use software to prevent the MB from sleeping. LINK

Thanks, guys, it was really helpful! :)
And one more thing - is there a way to plug TWO external displays into my macbook at the same time?

Matrox makes an adapter called DualHead2Go - they vary in price depending on input method and whether it's digital or analog, whether it will support two or three displays. You should be able to find them for $150 and up.
