Now that I have my new PB G3, I am just wondering about the much touted Preserve Contents of RAM on Sleep Feature. To me, this seems entirely software based and I do not see why it is reserved exclusively for only iBooks and at this point, Pismo. The way I see it, any PowerBook should be able to save the contents of RAM to the hard disk just before it goes to sleep with it's final gasp. Just the way any PowerBook can save the contents of a RAM disk to disk before shutting down. Easy enough to implement in software. Then, if the PB crashes (which is the only time this feature actually gets used, I was surprised to find out) and you startup your PB for the first time after the crash, if there were an Extension that loaded before everything else which looked for the "preserved contents" file, then it would seem to me the machine could just then restart like Conflict Catcher can do and load the file instead of starting up, particularly since all the necessary instructions could then be installed in PRAM during this step to do so. So, I don't understand, why do you need the ROM to know what's going on in order to have this feature. I mean it's not like this new Apple technology is foolproof anyway. I think it has something like a 60% track record for dependability (i.e. it doesn't always work). If someone can help with my understanding of this I would really appreciate it, because my Duo could REALLY use this technology, much more than my Pismo needs it! ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
