well. I've run into a few problems first off, the PRAM battery is dead secondly, there isn't an automatic startup\wakeup setting under energy saver. it does have iCal, but i'm not sure what to do with it yet, i'll mess around with that later. thanks for the help so far, and here's hoping that this project will work out
**offtopic** I do have a real alarm clock, and I don't like it. the local radio stations aren't the greatest, and they never play the music I listen to. my iDock style Alarm clock got mis-placed in the move, and i'm without it for quite a while. thanks -christian On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 11:58 AM, Elliott Price <callmemrp...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Yeah, you can set it to wake/start and sleep/shut down at certain > times in the energy saver preference, just click on "Schedule..." and > you can set it.
