- Excuse me, but if the machine is off in the morning, how is software going
- to run to turn it on? It would be *very* dangerous software with much juju
- which could startup a Mac which is off. I would be inclined to inspect my
- CPU with an axe if I saw my machine turn itself on.

- Automatically restarting is possible, as is automatically shutting down.
-
- It is possible to have additional external hardware start the Mac at a
- preset time or when a phone call is received. ADB attached modems can
- "press" the power-on switch on call receipt. Or, an external power timer
- can turn on the power if you've got a Mac with a locking power switch ala
- Plus/SE/Classic/LC or the IIci/IIfx switch which can be pushed in and
- twisted to lock it down.
