I don't know the answer BUT I have been using a Powerbook 520, 3400 or now
G3 for around 3 years.

I seldom bother to shutdown my system.  I very often cart the thing around
in my boot in sleep mode and so far (touch wood) have never had any
problems.

And I can be working in an instant.....

Good luck.
