My Mac Plus (which uses system RAM for the screen) will often show the
last screen picture if you've got to turn off and turn on (rebooting
without a programmer's switch).  Yes, RAM is quite able to maintain its
state for a while after turning it off, and I'm not sure that Macs *do*
clear it; my Mac Plus and 512Ke certainly don't.
