NO, I have found no way around it. When I close te lid, the PowerBook drops it's network connection.

Hello All I've noticed that when my PB goes to sleep (or, more critically, when I close the lid to walk around) I tend to lose the network connections on most of my networked apps. Is there any way I can defeat or modify this behavior? Case in point - this PB exists in a mostly Unix...

G4 PowerBook, OSX 10.3.3, stock Apple X11 1.0 (Xfree86 4.3.0). It's the same Xdefaults I use on a few other Unix and Unix-like boxes. Not sure why X11 doesn't read it. Thanks - JB

Hello All Some emails I read provide sentence line lengths longer than the Mail window, requiring me to scroll sideways to read each sentence. Ugh, not nice at all. Any way to tell Mail to force line breaks (soft or hard) at the edges of the viewing window? Any pointers welcome. I like...
