a simple approach to keeping a 12inch g4 laptop running with the screen (mostly) closed. another option is to modify the kernel (there are some apps available) to stop the laptop going into sleep mode when the screen is shut.
as these laptops cool through the keyboard, running it with the screen shut potentially damages the screen, and probably overheats the laptop as well. so for this reason (as the laptop is running in a backpack - and it does heat up a little in there, it can still cool to a certain degree) plus modifying the kernel might result in complete re-installation of the os - something i try to avoid if possible.
