Is anyone aware of a way to schedule OS X to wake at a particular time of day? I've used iCal to create my own musical alarm clock (scheduled opening of mp3's to wake ME up in the morning), but it does me no good if the computer is asleep at the time.
While I'm on the subject, is there a better way to automate the opening of mp3's at particular times? maybe something with scripting? i know nothing.
thanks

Yeah, at one time I thought I'd want an alarm which would wake my Powerbook too.
Then I thought some more, and remembered all those times my Powerbook was riding in the back seat of my car, bouncing around in sleep mode.
Do I really want it to wake up and announce itself at that time (when I probably won't hear it)?

I use this program --- Meridian.

To use, leave your powerbook lid open, put the powerbook to sleep manually, and Meridian will awaken your powerbook using alarm sounds or your iTunes library.
If you have your lid closed, it will NOT awaken your powerbook, so you don't burn it up in your back pack.
