The Air has no Eject key, so the Ctrl-Shift-Eject doesn't work. What's the replacement key?
Thanks

You can also use the Keychain application to give you a menu option to sleep the display.

Also note that the hot corners feature is more useful than it might appear. When you're setting them up, you can hold a modifier like control, shift, option or command. If you do that, the corner will only trigger when you hold that key and mouse the mouse to the hot corner. Personally I have the screen saver set to control and lower right, so I don't enable it by mistake.
The low-end Mac Pro is the most overpriced Mac since the IIvx

That should be the default for hot corners. People using the top right corner for Exposé used to bug the hell out of me.
