That's one of the key points: Sometimes properly configured MacBooks don't come out of hibernation properly. Also, I'm also trying to get rid of the annoyance of seeing your laptop hibernate when you could have done something about it. Mayb

Hm, maybe I need to make the value prop better, but the page does say, "What if there was an app that made you stop what you were doing and plug your laptop in before you could continue working? There is, and it's nearly here. Interested? S
