Yes, that's what I do, except when I'm actually on the road.  I have
to reboot to change that, which is a pain.

The APM protocol actually allows clients to disable automatic standby
and suspend events, and I had rolled my own version of the APM kernel
and "apm" user-land program to do that.  However, I did find that my
no-name laptop clone did not obey the disable.
