I use this only for the ability to prevent my MBP from sleeping when I close the lid. With version 2.3.1, it works exactly how it should. I can close the lid, and as long as I keep it closed for at least 30 seconds, when I open it the screen is off and all I need to do is touch the trackpad and instantly the screen is back on.

Using this I can listen to iTunes or download overnight with the screen closed and off. Combined with smcFanControl, I never have any issue with my MBP getting too hot. Great product!

Great... once I got it working - Version: 2.2.1, 5/2/2006 08:32PM PST

I am using SleepLess to keep my powebook from sleeping when I close the lid because I keep a VPN running while I'm wireless and it's a pain to have to reconnect as I run around the office to meetings with my laptop after it goes to sleep every time I close the lid. I had dabbled with using insomnia before (http://binaervarianz.de/projekte/programmieren/meltmac/), but I found the lack of interface clunky. SleepLess provides that interface I needed to make insomnia useful. The only problem I experienced is that the version of insomnia that came with the SleepLess package (/Applications/SleepLess.app/Contents/Resources/insomnia.kext) wouldn't load for me. I had a copy of the kext file I had previously downloaded from the insomnia site and replaced the one included with the package and everything works great now. I've only been using it for a couple of days, but no problems so far.

Have to reboot each time I use it - Version: 2.2.1, 3/30/2006 10:28AM PST

I used it for about 10 minutes, on 2 occasions on my iBook G4 12" 1.33GHz. Listened to iTunes with the lid closed. Both times the machine refused to wake from sleep immediately afterward and I had to reboot! Battery had plenty of charge.
