I guess it's not that important. Just one thing, when we close the 
lid, our MBs go to sleep, the question of clamshellness is 
questionable at this point. In my setup, if the power is connected, 
yes, it is in clamshell mode (as shown by its waking without the lid 
needing lifting); but in your setup, it appears not to be so, it was 
merely playing possum and needed the lid switch to wake.

My MB is still on Snow Leopard, maybe this is a factor? My settings 
for energy are don't wake for network, sleep the monitor after a few 
mins and the computer after a few more. 

Planning a couple month trip to USA in a couple of months, might get a 
MB over there, heard they are much cheaper, then I can be all modern 
and still keep the old MB on SL. 

(btw, we are thinking SF first, maybe a week, and a drive in hire car 
around California, through Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico ending in 
Denver, flying to New Orleans, maybe a few days there, then NY NY! for 
a week. 

Have no real idea of what is best but I want to see the country where 
William Munny shot Billy "The House" in the whorehouse saloon, as well 
as blasting other baddies who had to do with the capturing, whipping 
and death of his friend Ed Logan. 

Want to see where Frank Bullitt turned the tables in his Mustang (I 
think) on some gangsters who were tailing him with a shotgun on board 
theirs. I maybe will hire a car and try to take the corner fast and 
frighteningly like he did down a steep SF street.

Want to check out if any houses in Albuquerque are covered in yellow 
or orange plastic where drug labs might be hidden, want to check out 
any graves for Walter White and Hank. I liked Hank. 

Lot to do. I might have time to hit a few trails on horseback in 
search of the remnants of the Balserstone Gang, might even be able to 
round up that Jolly Old, will certainly be on the lookout for blokes 
in pirate hats and eyepatches walking around with iPds, MBs, iPhones 
etc. Am practicing my lassoing skills. I will consider a rendition of 
him to Canada, you can deal with him then.)
