The machines were slower, remember? What I'd like to see is what some PC's have, the possibility to save state, open programs, documents and all to disk and have the machine turned off completely, only to come back to exactly where you left off without any strain on the battery. Obviously some data, like date/time and network data so would be updated on reload.
