Sleep or Shutdown?

[Joe Sporleder]

Do y'all put your iBook to sleep or shut it down when moving it long 
distances? I put it to sleep when I'm just moving it around the house 
or around the office, but a co-worker with an older iBook (running 
MacOS 9.2.2) has had problems with hard drive corruption. He has always 
been putting it asleep, no matter how far it might travel, because that 
is what the manual suggests. I had a wake up from sleep problem the 
other day on my iBook after traveling with it to the office, however, 
that may have been a fluke that won't happen again. I'm living totally 
in MacOS 10 (the book came with 10.2.6, the latest), although this 
iBook can boot into MacOS 9.2.2. Since 10 is the future, I might as 
well start living there! :-) However, I didn't expect it to boot into 
9.2.2, as I thought all new machines and updated machines would not 
support booting into Classic. Perhaps what Apple really means is that 
they do not support booting into classic with the newer hardware, even 
tho' it may, it is not officially supported.
