That's pretty long-winded. I save several seconds on each of those operations by not having to do any of them, ever - just close the lid, open the lid.

I love my Mac.

That was actually the switching point for me, from Linux to OS X. After months of effort, I finally got suspend/resume working well on my laptop, but still couldn't find a way to close the lid, connect to a monitor, and have X11 automagically handle the screen resolution shift.

I'm not sure I could switch back; I'm more likely to switch to Windows than Linux again, just for the international support.

Me too, and Debian runs great on it; suspend/resume included.
