Hi John, When you put the Libretto into standby, it also saves memory to disk before going into standby mode (memory still powered). If you take it out of standby (by pressing the button or opening the lid depending on settings) before a timeout period (which you can set) then it immediately comes back on. Once that timeout period has passed without such an event, the libby cuts power to the memory (remember, its already dumped the contents off to disk). Then, when the wakeup event occurs (power button and/or panel open) it restores memory from disk (taking 10-20 seconds or so). I generally have mine set to go into standby on panel close then hibernation 10 minutes after. IMHO this is a smarter way of dealing with hibernation/standby than other laptops because if you put the laptop into standby and accidentally disconnect all power (say you put it in standby then change the battery) you won't lose your work like other laptops because when the libby comes back up it'll find a copy of memory in disk and restore from that. As for WinNT, I've only got a Libby50CT with 16 meg of RAM so I'm not going to try it but I've heard people have run NT on it with reasonable success (ie. about as much success as one could run NT with on a machine with 32 meg of RAM, assuming you have an upgrade). - Raymond At 07:02 PM 1/01/2002 -0800, you wrote: >Date: Tue, 1 Jan 2002 20:56:53 -0600 >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [LIB] Libretto 70 > >Hi Raymond > >Thanks for the info.
