I usually touch the mouse as I am sitting down, and the screen is there when I have positioned the office chair.

With my new PC tablet I can wake it up from sleep instantly and it can stay in sleep mode for many days without losing a significant amount of battery charge. Even with Wifi on and e-mail downloads active.
You can, of course, keep any old computer always plugged in, running, and then use it immediately --- but that wasn't progress.
