Is it a PB G3 or a PB G3 Series, only Apple would name their computers so similar, but be different. The G3 Firewire, aka 'Pismo' was capable of running with the lid closed (and possibly the model before that). You might respond, I know, but it required connecting the PB to an external monitor and you don't want to do that. But if my memory servers me, the trick also worked with an external keyboard, and these PBs were one of the first to have USB ports. You could do a simple check with a USB keyboard and see if it stays awake, if so a cheap USB keyboard might help prevent the mice from trying to ensure that every Mac comes with a mouse. As an alternative solution, there is a reed switch below the microphone on the lid. there is also a magnet on the right palmrest. When the reed switch detects a magnet nearby, it clasps together, thus making the computer go to sleep. Simply remove the magnet, or unplug or cut the wires to the reed switch and you'll be able to close the lid without it going to sleep. This will obviously work with any PB, MB or MBP if you know where the magnet and reed switch are. Be aware that you might then suffer cooling problems!
