[Duo2400] Tricking a 2400

[Ivan Drucker]

Actually, this is kind of an ugly kludge, but: I had a 2400 that I 
dropped once, and the part of the latch that descends into the hold and 
made the computer go to sleep broke off. Thus, I always had to sleep it 
manually, but it was never really a big deal -- the hinge was strong 
enough to keep the machine fully closed when it was closed, and it kind 
of had that first-generation iBook feel -- no latch, which I kind of 
enjoyed. Just flip it open and wake it up.

Anyway, I don't really advise intentionally breaking off your latch, but 
it would probably do what you want.

Ivan.
