I just realized, "It's good to go to sleep while listening to Swedish radio."
This would likely be a GREAT tranquilizer for those of us who wouldn't know
what's said!

There you go again; talkin' over my head. <Chuckle> It's *not* a high mark.
I've only hit the <Crescent shaped moon> button by accident a few times. If it
was a <Sun low on the horizon> button, I'd suspect it of being hibernate. <G>

Say, I've just been poking around in the W2K help pages, but I didn't see
anything about waking the puppy up from a sleep. I understand hibernate means
you just turn your machine back on, but how do you 'un'sleep it?

If I understand, "sleep" also writes a "hibernate", so you have an option to
'un'sleep, or if the cord gets kicked out, you can still 'un'hybernate?

On another side note - and I suspect this might better be asked on LINUX - but
have you any experience with using a UPS to send your machine into a hibernate?
On Windows, I just run the supplied software, but on Linux, I *just* was able
to get the UPS to report on its state.
