You probably already know this, but for those who don't - you can use
PS2.EXE (from a floppy or your DOS partition) to enable "HSWITCH".  This
will let you enter hibernation by simply flipping the power switch.  I
usually set up my Thinkpads this way because it's a little more intuitive
than Fn-F12.

Plus, I had the nasty habit of accientally turning off my TP600 by
hitting the switch while picking it up.  :)
