You wouldn't convince me of that unless you could show me documentation, as Apple condones and tell everybody that they can run with an external display and keyboard & have the lid closed.

You're talking to Apple people on this list, obviously, so if you can point US to documentation which clearly states that "Apple condones and tells everyone they can do this", I think we'd all love to see it. Since you're asking for proof that it's not condoned, I think it's only reasonable to ask you for proof in turn that it is. :-)

"How to use your PowerBook G4, MacBook Pro or MacBook with the display closed"

Thanks much for the citation. Clearly, I'd never read that before, and it represents an interesting collision between "conventional wisdom" and "the documentation." I'd always heard, both inside and outside of Apple, that running a mac laptop of almost any ilk with the lid closed was a dicey proposition given the variances of heat dissipation. Various "it happened to me!" pictures have been posted on the web which show melted keyboards and the like (though we have, of course, no absolutely clear notion of what has happened in these cases). It's certainly been enough to put a lot of people off the idea, which is probably where Terry was coming from (gah! I'm defending Terry, that's never a good sign).
