gets pulled out while the computer is on, can I just plug it back in or should I power down to avoid a surge or other nasty event?

Nope, you can plug it right back in. No reason at all to shut down.

Thought so, but thought I'd check before something got fried.. Thanks.
On my MBP, I've plugged and unplugged the power supply dozens of times.
The only wierdness I have experienced is pulling it out of my carrying
case and finding it extremely hot; I shut the top when somthing was
running and it must have kept the HD spinning or something.

Any laptop that doesn't allow you to hot-plug the power cable would be
an extremely brain-dead design. I don't think I've ever seen such a
computer in the 15+ years I've been around laptops.

That's bad. It's supposed to go to sleep when the lid is closed. Check
your Energy Saver preference panel to make sure this isn't disabled. I
know it can't be disabled on an iBook (without some hacking), but I
think some PowerBooks do support this mode of operation. Perhaps the
MBP does too.
