A lesson from history for those who fail to learn from it.
Rebooting from the latent image in core memory after months or
even years without power was not particularly remarkable.  A
little hunting should turn up some nice war stories such as the
pdp-10 that was halted running diags in Marlboro, MA, crated,
loaded in a truck, moved across country, installed, cabled and
when powered up, resumed running the diags from the halt point.
Different technology, different era (and a *real* computer) but
the lesson is:  know your technology's behavior at the edges....
