I understand the heat-constraint; is it possible to undertake a small
amount of processing while the laptop is closed?
I'd think that depends on the laptop circuitry. An old toshiba laptop
of mine works fine with the lid closed. Newer newer ones don't seem to.
You can set your system to "wake on lan" (wake for network
administrator access), but if the laptop won't allow the system to
power up when the lid's down, you can't get around that. You (someone)
need(s) to know a bit more about how the powerbooks behave to really
answer this question. As it comes from the factory, the answer seems
to be 'no'.
