    MAGNet,

    Here's a description just e-mailed to me by one of our professors:

    "I think I mentioned the problem of frequent crashes before but now
    it seems to be happening almost every time I put the iBook to sleep.
    The iBook is supposed to sleep either by closing the top or using the
    sleep icon. In both cases the apple goes to sleep; however, when I
    open the top, there is a blank screen [requiring rebooting] and the
    iBook is also quite warm (almost as if it has been running with the
    top closed). I have rebuilt the desktop and tried a shut down and
    re-boot. Nothing seems to work."

    He is using system 8.6. I went to the MacFixit site and found
    comments on the lid sleep switch problem and on the less-than-ideal
    sleep memory extension. I have forwarded that information to the
    professor.

    I was wondering, nevertheless, whether anyone has other ideas about
    the cause of this trouble. Would upgrading the system help?

    Thanks.

    John
