         Here is something that seems to work, but this has no scientific 
basis that I can cite.  So it may be pure fiction, but it works for me.

         When shutting the lid on a powerbook make sure it is awake.  It 
seems that if it has already gone to sleep, shutting the lid confuses it 
when it tries to wake again.

         As to transporting a powerbook, it would seem from Apple 
information that transporting a powerbook while sleeping is okay.   The 
manual does say to wait until the harddrive stops before moving, but when 
sleeping, the harddrive should be stopped.
