Recently got a 20" Cinema Display to use with my 15" 1ghz AlBook. Was doing a bunch of freelance stuff right when I got it so the 'book was plugged in clamshell mode and essentially functioned as a desktop for a few weeks. Now that things have died down, I've found myself disconnecting it from the display to go sit on the couch quite often lately.
Apple's documentation isn't exactly clear if it's OK to "hotswap" a Cinema Display. So far I've just been putting the PB to sleep when I connect/disconnect to the monitor (which is still plugged in to the electrical socket). Is that OK? What is the proper to way to connect/disconnect? Is there any risk of damaging anything the way I'm doing it? Shhhh, I can't see! |

I hotswap my 23" all the time between my G5 and my PC gaming machine.
Never had a problem. |

So do you *really* hot swap em? With both the display and the G5/PC on? Or do you put them to sleep first?
