    Yeah, if it powers off while asleep, it boots with the options of safe mode and all that, and I just have to tell it to boot normally.
    If you use Hybrid sleep the PC would not crash when the power goes out (and it's sleeping).
    Not crashing the PC is better IMHO.
    It would Resume from Hibernate (you would not get the warning with boot options on the restart).

    Interesting. well I don't think I'm risking the HD, because it's shut off sleeping, so I guess it's no big deal to leave it this way. And I put a bright yellow DVD cardboard in front of the switch now.
