That's a nice idea,  but I'm saving up for a new
computer :)

I expected or hoped it to be possible because I'm not
using a bios-based resume, but one in the linux
kernel, which would therefore have to be loaded - at
least in part - for resuming to happen normally. It
just sounds like "in part" doesn't include "with usb
storage support".
