- I checked my calendar, to be sure, and it says we're nowhere near April
- but this has got to be a wind up, right???
-
- I'm not religous, but it's going to take more than we earthly programmers
- can manage to get code to run BEFORE there is any power to the machine!
- ( or can this be done in Assembly!!! ). Anyway I'll have a crack at it:
-
- 10 PRINT "Why not get a timed switch to power your Mac on at a said time"
- 20 PRINT "and put your desired applications in the startup items folder"
- 30 PRINT "This resides within the system folder"
- 40 PRINT "When the timed power switch kicks in the Mac will boot"
- 50 PRINT "and execute these programs, which it would seem will work"
- 60 PRINT "in the background unattended."
- 70 END
-
- All joking asside, hope this helps.
