[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 127861, member: 3850"] Ok, I see what you're saying, but: a) I don't think he's worried about conserving battery life? Maybe I'm wrong though! b) Why not just dim the PB's screen and plug in an adapter to fool the PB into thinking there is a screen attached? (Anyone tried this?) Or use the hack? No screens would be on that way. c) The powerbook's are designed to be able to run with the lids shut, that's why the display hinge ventilation area is a lot broader than on the iBooks, they blow more heat out the back, as opposed to up through the keyboard. I personally wouldn't leave it on all the time like this though either, but since this is an intended design feature included by Apple, it would also be covered by warranty, if anything DID go wrong. Not flaming you here mind you! I personally also just use AdiumX ;) [/QUOTE]
