    In my case, it was much quicker to resume my laptop from suspend or
    hibernate than do a cold boot.  Plus I can resume back to everything
    that I was in the middle of doing.

    But, I've used other computers where resuming took just as long as a
    normal bootup.

Hi Tim:

Then the question is: How do you boot up from suspend - is there a special way to boot up after this command to continue working with the data? I guess, since curiousity has bitten - and depending how curious I am - I could attempt it making up some data that I care very little about.

It depends on the bios. On my Asus Eee900, I have to press the power button. On my Lenovo x120e, opening it is all that is needed. Your system should open up to the locked desktop screen. Unlock and off you go where you were before.

I use this extensively traveling and at conferences. Could not survive without it.
