My mother had left her iBook in sleep mode although it had only like 5 minutes of battery left. She didn't try to use it until a couple of days later and by that time the computer had completely shut down itself.
I got her to plug in the cord but then she asked me why it didn't start. I told her to press the start button, but she didn't know which one that was.
When the gray startup screen started showing she turned horrified to me and asked: "What's this? Is there something wrong? I haven't seen it before!"
I had to calm her down and explain that was the startup screen. She had only used the sleep function ever since she bought it two months ago.
That is how stable it is. (OS X 10.2.6 on an iBook 12" 900)
