O.K. i just purchased a 12 inch powerbook and i was wanting to know if you guys who own one keep in sleep when you are taking it places such as, school, work, or wherever. Also do you have any tips or anything i need to know about it?

Quite often I leave it in sleep if I go anywhere.

Went to London this weekend just gone (from Brighton), so drove around 70 miles or so, on that trip I popped into a service station (laptop in case), to the shop and what not, carried on my way and arrived where I needed to be, got the PowerBook out to check an address and popped it back in.

it stayed in sleep the whole day and it was carried everywhere.

One such instance of it being perfectly safe to carry your PowerBook in sleep IMO. Just be careful with it, but then hopefully you will be anyway!

Yeah it should get rid of it.. I guess it depends on what came with the Tiger disk that you have :) I also take my powerbook everywhere with it asleep and it has no problems at all.

Make sure you select only the languages you will need and the printer drivers you want - that's the stuff that takes up the most space.

The size of some of the printer driver packages is huge!
