[dba-Tech] Comp wont hibernate

[John Colby]

I think because it writes the memory to disk, whereas shutting down just 
closes open programs and turns off.  No rather large write to the disk.  
With rotating media it makes sense to hibernate since the disk isn't 
damaged and it is faster to reload the saved state than to boot.  With 
an SSD it is just as fast to boot (or close).
