Is it safe to move ibook around when on sleep mode?

[tenoates]

Closing the lid will put the ibook to sleep. In this mode, can i put it in the bag and move it around like in going to and from meetings or from the office to the house, etc.

Won't this damage the hdd or anything else?

TIA

This should be fine. I have carried my iBook around in my backpack with it in sleep mode for five years now, and it has caused no problems at all.

Yep, when it is asleep the drive heads are parked. It is as safe as if it were off.
