Allow Your PC to Hibernate

Every PC that has Windows XP installed, is allowed to hibernate. You can compare it to the way the plants in winter hibernate. They do not suspend all operations completely, but they use a lot less energy to live. The same can happen with computers. They do not suspend all operations completely, but they use a lot less energy as they only use enough to keep the computer powered on. I usually have my PC running most of the time during the day, and if for some reason I decide to go outside, I set it for hibernating. By doing so, I do not have to close all the important documents that I have opened. I just leave my house, when the PC is in the hibernation mode, and when I come back, I put it in a normal mode again. By doing so, I save power, and my computer components will last longer, as they will get used up a lot more slowly. Hibernation is one of my favorite features in Windows XP, and I think it is a lot more useful than screensavers. That is because screensavers do not really save a lot of power, but simply look pretty.
