Having grown old sitting in front of a desktop, I always viewed suspend, hibernate, etc., as nuisances; so even after acquiring a laptop, I never have learned to use those features. I could benefit from a tutorial on them. But perhaps the author of the hiberate, suspend, etc. code has a different perspective than you on the matter of awakening the machine. A simple example: Say that you are on the highway using the "cruise control" to maintain a speed of 70 mph. The car to the right swerves into your lane, and you stomp on the brake pedal to avoid a collision. But touching the brake pedal turns off the cruise control. Now when you take your foot off the brake pedal, should the cruise control automatically re-engage and accelerate you back to 70 mph? RLH
