[P1] Does the Clock Sleep?

[Dave]

Hi,

iBooks "aren't designed" to not sleep when closed...but there is a 
workaround, which is a kernel patch:

http://www.schempp.ch/nosleep/

There are supposed to be heat issues, which is why the thing is only 
allowed to be off or asleep if closed.

Also, while the clock app is sleeping, the actual computer is still 
keeping time; I'm guessing the clock app talks to the computer to get 
the time regularly when awake, but doesn't when asleep because there's 
nobody to look at it!

HTH,

Dave
