Larry, I've got an AL15" at 1.5Ghz and routinely use it with an external monitor. It will work either with the PowerBook lid open or closed. As to Energy management, simply open "Energy Saver" from System Preferences and move all settings to "Never." However, if you are using a LCD monitor, I'd recommend against never sleeping the monitor as you will accelerate degradation of the illumination lamp. I've worn out several across the past couple of years.
