[P1] Bumped Mouse and PB 10.3 froze...

[Brian Olesky]

When I first got my iBook two years ago, I always connected and disconnected
USB and other devices while the Book slept. And several times weird things
happened. Then there was a thread on this list that concluded that you were
supposed to hot-swap only when the machine was awake, so that it could make
the necessary adjustments on the fly. I started hot swapping only when awake
(me and the machine) and haven't had a problem since. In fact, I vastly
prefer it this way because most times you want to hot swap you're actually
using the computer. I thought it was more of a pain to put the book to sleep
in order to swap devices.
