Okay... Advanced Power Management in W98 is a little funky... and is famous 
for working on some systems and not.  I've never had problems on my Libs, 
but know several people who couldn't get hibernation to work on their 
desktops.  It seems like it does manage to find and activate hibernation in 
my L70 BIOS, as when I use it to set it to put my system into Standy, it 
makes the system hibernate (there was a distinction made between the two 
terms) after a set timeout.

The power management is not as extensive as it is in the Toshiba power 
management, which controls power to the LCD and HDD as you probably know.  
Why you can set Standy to 1 minute, and set the HDD and display for 1 hour 
has always been beyond me.
