Problem
I have my AEBSn hooked up to a USB Hub which is connected to 2 external hard drives and 1 printer. The printer works fine, the 200gb...
1)Whats on your thumb drive?
2)Also, I have a 1GB thumb drive that fits in my wallet...and i want to put financial (quicken backups..ect) and other sensitive information on it in case my place burns down or something. Obviously...i don't want that in the open if I were to lose my wallet and...
Ok, so i have a mouse plugged in USB style, and i close the lid...it sleeps, i wiggle the mouse, and i think it comes back awake, but with the screen off cause the lids closed....obviously..but now when i open the lid to check to see if anything actually happened, the screen wont turn back on...
So ya, like the title says, can you make it so that when your on power adapter it doesnt go into sleep mode when you close the lid? Ive checked all over for the setting and i cant find it. Let me know if theres a way to do this at all or if there is some nifty way around this built in feature...

I seriously recommend playing with them in person. Some people dont like the macbook's keyboard (like me)...some people love it (im sure someone will chime in and say they love it soon), but really its a personal preference you should decide.
you can get them with the same processor / ram / hdd, so its not really slower in that respect at all. Only thing that would be 'slower' so to speak, its the GPU. And that, by a lot. But if you never game / use 3d stuff, you wont notice it.
edit: another reason i like the MBP over the MB...
