A quick follow-up...

It woke up.

But in its own style.

I put it in Standby, let it stand for a few minutes while I puttered about.  The nifty little blinkenlichten showed me it was in Standby mode.  When I opened the screen up, the blinker (OK, the power indicator...) stopped blinking and stayed on.

And the screen stayed black.  And no hard drive activity.  Though the Media Package indicator came on.

And I stared at the black screen for about a minute and a half before I tentatively tapped a button on the keyboard.  Nothing.  Tapped the "Enter" key.  Nothing.  Tap the touchpad button.  Nothing.

I was just starting to consider holding down the Power switch when...  Whizzz!  Whirrrr!  The hard drive indicator flickered up.  The screen came on with a cranky beep...

I think I'm going to shut everything down, and retire to my room to stare mindlessly at the 'tube...  I just for some reason don't want to play anymore...................
