I was thinking of it for quite a while but only recently was remembered 
as my new laptop works great with it.

In fact my workstation suspends/resumes even faster, even though (or 
because?) it has 4 GB RAM instead of the 3 in my thinkpad.

I use GNOME, and yes, I already mapped that button to suspend the box to 
RAM. But how to make it *resume the box as well?

Maybe look through the bios to somehow "wake on keyboard" ?

Will search ...
