Way to Go Apple!

With my previous PowerBook, if I accidentally disengaged the battery while pulling it in or out of the carrying bag, I was in big trouble. Not only did I have to restart the machine, I had to while plugged in to the wall which was a problem in that I don’t always carry my power adapter.
Something I have noticed with my TiBook is that when the battery becomes disengaged, it doesn’t require plugging in to the wall to recover. Not only that, but it doesn’t crash either! Let me repeat that: removing the battery from the laptop while in sleep mode doesn’t crash the machine.
Now I’m not advocating that you should go removing the battery from your sleeping PowerBook to test this, but on a couple of occassions, my machine has woken from sleep after the battery goes flying across the room. Go Figure. Can your laptop do that?
