Hey everyone,
I just got a new MacBook Pro the other day and it's the first time I've really ever used a Mac. So far I love it, but I have one problem. I do a lot of web design, so I purchased the 30" Cinema HD monitor to go with it for when I'm at home. I want to be able to hook up a USB keyboard and mouse to it and use the laptop like a desktop with the monitor shut. I can't seem to find any info on how to make my Mac not go to sleep when I shut the monitor off. Right now I just turn the contrast all the way off but I don't really like that option. On Windows you can set it up in the control panel that when you shut the monitor nothing happens so I'm really hoping it's possible with macs. Also I found some information on here about InsomniaX but unfortunately it doesn't work with my verson of Max OS X. Anyone have any information for me?
