Way back in the day of my brief torture of Win98SE, I used to explore
the BIOS to see what options there were, and which stupid ones were
preselected.  Wake on timer has been around for a very long time.

I haven't a use for it, but various businesses use it if they don't
leave PCs on 24/7.  Have the main server wake up by itself before the
staff lob in, then progressively booting up each client PC with a
minutes delay stops having a sudden mains power load, and staggers
things that poll the server for everything under the sun.
