Michael, this is in response to your query asking for clarification on my comment about the closed lid anomaly. What I mean is as follows. Under System-Preferences-Power Management, set "When laptop lid is closed:" to "Do nothing". Set "Put computer to sleep when it is inactive for:" to say 15 minutes. Under General tab, set "Sleep type when inactive:" to Suspend or Hibernate. Continue working/playing on the laptop. Then let's say you want a break and you prefer the lid closed during the break. So close the lid. Nothing should happen immediately because that's that's the setting we selected above. Then wait for more than 15 minutes idle time. Now the computer should activate either Suspend or Hibernate depending on what you set before. But it doesn't. It just remains on. The power light remains on continuously instead of going off (Hibernate) or going into blink (Suspend). When I open the screen, its still on and everything is still there, so the laptop didn't go into Suspend or Hibernate. Now repeat the above but leave the lid open during the break. This time the computer activates Suspend or Hibernate after 15 minutes idle time. I hope I've explained better this time.
