Uh-oh!
I hope when I turn on my Orion for the first time I don't see monochrome
clouds and a "Your Orion was not properly shut down. Please wait while we
restore the system"!
Of course...my Titan 425 takes 3 minutes to warm up before it comes into
READY mode so when I power up the station at least they'll wake up at the
same time.
