I did that, and everything was AOK for 24 hrs. Then I rebooted, walked away from the iBook for a few minutes and it was sleep-jammed again! So ... what can one do about OS X "extensions"? I haven't even booted into OS 9 once with the iBook, so it isn't an OS 9-type extension that's causing this. I *do* use Mozilla, and I did d/l a couple shareware programs, none of which I'm using. Otherwise it's pretty much the bundled software. So do I need to toss 3rd party apps until my iBook learns how to nap properly? > > 2.

Haven't tried this yet, but I will soon. Thanks for the help, Patrick Draine
