[Ti] Unable to run my HD Cinema Display while 17" PB is closed.

[Chris Rock]

ok Sweet, nice to know I can move the dock and menu, i didn't know that, 
and I jsut read a KB article on apple.com that said I need my powercable 
connected to run the HD Cinema Display while the 17" is closed.... I am 
just wondering about heat and the 17" being closed.....

Nothing was mentioned....
