I agree, that sounds good to me.  I think the concept that (as a user)
I should be required to predict how long I'm going to be away from my
computer is pretty broken.  I want to close my laptop, have it save my
state, and come back at some unknown point in the future and get back
to it.  So I'll argue that even two options is pretty bad nevermind
three.
