System uptime is typically 30 to 60 days on my T60       before I need to do a full shutdown or Restart to refresh a finicky USB       port.               NA>> Likewise with my T440P. I always hibernate and the SSD is        NA>> lightning fast.              With the little bit of use I've had with the T540p and the SSD, it comes       up within 10 seconds after a full shut shutdown, but I haven't finished       the Win10 registration yet.                      KW> I'm running into more and more problems at my job, people        KW> who hibernate/sleep their laptops for weeks on end and don't        KW> log into the domain controllers on boot. I'm sounding like        KW> *that* guy -- "Have you tried turning it off and back on        KW> again?"              I know! I'll have friends call me too, and usually a full off/on makes       their problem go away. Their problems can depend on a combination of       other things they are putting the OS through.              I have 3 pcs connected to my work network. I just hibernate at the end       of the day. No problem for months. I hate the Win7 updates that force me       to reboot.              I am not a fan of Suspend/Sleep. I want to maximize battery use when       lugging a laptop around, and I don't want a surprise if a pc was in       Sleep and I get a power outtage overnight. So a Hibernate is a better       option all around.              --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228)        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 19/10 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 360 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854       SEEN-BY: 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 633/280 712/848 770/1       PATH: 221/360 1 280/464 229/426           |
