I'm sorry if this has been discussed ad nauseum, but my googling was inconclusive.
Is moving a sleeping iBook riskier than moving one that has been shut down?
Ought I avoid this practice?

it's possible, but I can't think of any reason just at the moment. Of course, it's late here.

I don't think so. My computer travels asleep everywhere: home to the office and back, when I fly (not often), when I drive somewhere, etc. I do take some care not to drop my PowerBook, which is just sanity. IMO: just move it around.

I can - depending how you move it, sometimes a sleeping iBook can open, thus waking it and draining the battery. This has happened to me enough times when walking with the iBook in a pack on my back that now I always shut it down in such situations. m.

What ever happened to the option not to wake from sleep when the lid was opened?

In Terminal:
sudo pmset -b lidwake 0

But didn't it used to be offered in the Energy Saver control panel? I wonder why they removed it from the GUI?
