Hibernation
Hibernation is a very useful feature. People frequently open many applications
when they use computers. It takes some time to get all these applications open and
running, and normally they all have to be closed before the system can be turned
off.
When you use the Hibernation feature, you do not have to close the applications.
The Joybook stores the state of your operation to a file on the hard disk and then
shut down. The next time you turn on your Joybook, you return to exactly where
you left off.
