Ok, ok! I am not the only smart ass around and you both already covered all those possibilities.

Well, instantly when suspended, a bit more when hibernating (it has to read the 256 MB memory back from disk). Suspended mode seems to match the one Geir describes, since some systems are still on. (But CPU, disks and fans are obviously off.) When hibernating it is completely off. I can just unplug it and take it elsewhere - which is what I do to carry the PC from home to the office (it is a very small PC and fits in my rucksack). When I switch it on it boots and loads all the OS with all apps running in the state they were. I think portables just get suspended since they always have a power source (battery) and energy consumption, although not null is minimal. The reason I hibernate my PC instead of shutting it down is that waking up from hibernation is SO MUCH FASTER than booting the damn thing. And still, BE OS boots in some 15 seconds on a Pentium 433! How fast does OSX boot? Have fun, Paulo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
