Hello,
Is there a way to make the 12" powerbook power button behave like my iMac's? When I push the iMac's power button (on the machine or keyboard) it goes to "sleep" without asking if I want it to shut-down or restart. When I push the powerbook's button, it displays a window with the afore mentioned options. Can I eliminate that window and just have the powerbook to to sleep with the pressing of a single button? I know, I know, just go to the "apple" and select sleep. I'm just wondering if it can be changed. Thanks in advance.

I have never heard that that could be changed.

But there is a key-combination to send the PowerBook to sleep immediately: Option-Command-Eject.

Maybe not exactly what you hoped for, but it should do the job.
