In my house today, all of the computers are Macs. This is a long way away from three and a half year ago, when I said that Jaguar could not replace my PC. We're chugging along happily running Tiger, just as productive as before, and enjoying every bit of eye candy. But OS X isn't always cherry pie, it's got its own set of faults, and some can be downright annoying. UPDATED

But, as the grandparent points out, the Powerbook runs just fine with the lid closed when you have a keyboard and a display plugged in. I realize that the answer you gave is Apple's explanation and not yours, but it just doesn't quite make sense.
My guess is that they really don't want people using Powerbooks as really big iPods (I sometimes used to listen to music on my old laptop when wandering around) because it can cause all sorts of hardware failures. Just a guess...
