Uh oh. MBP's display dimmed after and then went black (energy saving I 
assume from idling). I can't seem to wake it up. I don't know if is 
still running? I still feel heat from the keyboard and hear its fan(s), 
so it is doing something? I don't hear and feel the DVD spinning. How do 
I wake it up or even disable this monitor sleep during DVD installer? :(
