This brings all kinds of ideas to mind ... I remember working the lab once
and there was a power cut. I would have given anything to be able to have
reloaded a previous 'state' of the machine (say from the previous night's
save -- like an autosave?) and carried on. I am sure there are loads of
applications which would benefit from something like
--> machine hangs (interrupted, ...)
----> reboot if no response for a bit (implemented) or on power up
-------> load last saved state from disk to memory
and away we go ... Just a thought
