Is that correct? Well, _some_ parts of the system are still operating. But that's true of STR/Standby too ... some components are operating well enough to issue wakeup events. (Even in some STD modes.) And return from STR/Standby does't mean all device state is trashed; those devices don't go "non-operational" as in "reset" either. It may be fair to say that more parts are more functional though; making detailed comparisons hasn't been high on my tasklist! - Dave
