You can only close the lid and keep the computer running if you have an external monitor attached, as far as I know. And I've even been able to turn the external monitor off- just having it connected seems enough to let the computer think it's allowed to stay awake with the lid closed. I haven't tested whether you can fool it just with and external keyboard but I doubt it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
