Apparently doing this can cause damage to the display if done for
long periods of time - that's from an Apple 'Genius', but I don't
know how true it is.
It used to be that with a powerbook, if you connected an external
display and keyboard, closing the lid simply turned off the internal
display and left you with a tiny workstation.

How to do the reverse? I.e., prevent the Mac from sleeping when
the lid is closed?
Mmmhhh... I smell Sunday roast ... what do you mean that's my
iBook overheating???
Well, I assumed the screen and backlight would be off, just that
the CPU wouldn't sleep. There used to be a trick for doing this,
and it worked well -- no Sunday roast -- but that hole's been "fixed".
