- Just to put in my $.02 worth, I heard that it was not a good idea to
- transport the Powerbook if it is in sleep mode. And this I heard
- many months ago. I don't know if this is actually true though and
- would like to hear the truth. I have a Powerbook and have constantly
- transported it while it was in sleep mode and so far (knock on wood),
- nothing has happened to my hard disk. However, this may just be luck.
- Does anyone know for certain if the hard disk does park in
- sleep or not?
