It has some sample code and it is pretty easy to use, but I wouldn't recommend it since a powerbook / ibook user cannot run their computer with the lid closed.



Actually, Apple has instructions on their site on how to use the powebook with the lid closed connected to an external monitor. The note doesn't impose any limitations on computer usage so this means the powerbook can run with the lid closed just fine. I wouldn't stick it in an unventilated location like a computer bag though.

I have done this (back in the PB 520 days) with an external mouse/ keyboard/monitor just to experiment, and it worked fine. The trick was to wake it from sleep, just as you were closing the lid.

No tricks needed with PowerBooks since TiBook if not earlier. Just plug in an external mouse, keyboard and monitor and hit a key on t he keyboard to wake the system.
