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).
