Why not use SleepLess
Authored by: loftzon on May 04, '07 08:15:41AM

Why don't you guys just use SleepLess? It's just 10 bucks and relieves A LOT of hassle. It means you can turn off the internal screen without putting the computer to sleep, and turn it on again if you need extra screen-estate. I have the same setup.. I use a MBP with an external monitor and i highly recommend this program.

Why not use SleepLess
Authored by: devwild on May 04, '07 08:55:21AM

Because you shouldn't have to pay for functionality that exists on practically every other machine on the market. Apple needs to realize this is a common and painfully simple problem, and fix it. Not unlike having to pay for third party mouse drivers for OSX to get basic button and acceleration functionality.

I applaud the people who come up with fixes, but don't forget to let Apple hear your concerns.
