Hmm, yeah, that makes sense. I think I'll try it anyways because the
ability to not drain battery power while still leaving your work open
sounds nice. One thing to note though : if I close the laptop too
quickly after shutting down it isn't really shutdown yet and is in
suspend(-to-RAM) mode. When I open it again it loads up, finishes
shutting down, and takes quite a while to get anything useful out of
it :-).
