Don't close the screen that is dumb imo. Yes, you can do it but it is also okay to smoke and drink. Doesn't mean you should. I like to drink though so I am not getting down on people but just using those as examples. Just turn down the brightness all the way.

Speaking of the 17inch I'm currently running 10.4 1.5GB RAM ,My PB flies just as fast as my Macbook did with 2GB RAM running Leopard. Does Leopard on the
17 slow it down at all? ..... I have ran Leopard before and I love it but I don't won't to slow down my PB, which to be honest I like better than my Macbook that I got rid of. call me crazy But I'm a big fan of the powerbook and this one performs very well. Besides I only use my PB for internet and email it is not a workhorse,More like a toy.
