Apparently doing this can cause damage to the display if done for 
long periods of time - that's from an Apple 'Genius', but I don't

It used to be that with a powerbook, if you connected an external 
display and keyboard, closing the lid simply turned off the internal 
display and left you with a tiny workstation.
