Footnote on WinME Hibernate

System Hibernate is pretty doggone good but I have found it works two ways. One way
is good. The other one is too but different. I only wish I could have the choice
of choosing the one I want when I want it.
It would be interesting to know why this difference happens and how it might be usefully
taken advantage of.
It was only a few months ago that I began running System Monitor routinely. Then
one day I ran system hibernate and saw its good effect on available memory.
At that time, when I selected Hibernate, the system screen would quickly blink off
but , in about 10 seconds, the computer would beep, the screen brighten and return
to the usual desktop. System monitor showed the memory situation was much improved.
Not many days later, I got to thinking this was so good it must be well known and
I was late to the party. A little more thinking, mulling over all the bad press
I've seen on winME(undeserved in my opinion), I decided to some Googling on the subject.
I am sort of in the habit of checking newsgroups for computer tips and not the web.
I found Microsoft's winME newsgroup and posted there. General response was this
is a new discovery.
Finally got around to checking the web today and found this forum.
Whoops - have to go. I'll post more later.
