[QUOTE="yellow19man, post: 437554, member: 33948"] Kind of disappointed Apple doesn't include the close-lid option without having the computer go to sleep. On my old PC laptop, there was an option where I could close my lid and still have the computer run (example, just turning off your monitor on a desktop computer). I like having the option of just closing the lid and having the screen turn off and still keeping me connected to the internet. I know I could just turn the "Put the display to sleep" option to a minute but then this option disrupts me when I watch video clips on the net. I constantly have to move my mouse to keep the screen alive. [/QUOTE]
