so it's not *impossible* (as in, hitting the suspend button causes a jump to
a memory address which is in ROM and we can't do anything to stop it); we
just need to figure out what wince does at that piece of ROM, and implement
it ourselves, so we can wake up from this hibernation mode?

how easy is it to just make it hibernate (without the resume functionality)?
I realize this is kind of useless; but I'm just curious. :)
