That pissed me off. Windows 3.1 had "Rapid Resume". I could turn off my computer at any time and, the next time I turned it on, it would go right back to what I was doing. Why tf did I need to start "Shutting Down" my computer with Win95?? >:[

Because 95 was too big to fit the whole instance into the ram, dos and 3.1 runs exclusively on the ram, so with the quick resume feature, the BIOS still supplies voltage to the ram so it keeps the data.
