Is there any way to set my computer to power on automatically at a certain
time each morning?

Thank you.
 
The only thing I can think of, PhillyBilly, is maybe you could set up a
heavy ball bearing to ride down a narrow gully inclined enough and situated
correctly to activate your CPU's ON button. This, of course, would require
some sort of outside force such as an old-fashioned big-bell alarm clock,
the vibration of which would push the ball bearing onto the inclined gully
to start the process (or "get the ball rolling" - heh heh). The down side is
you will need to manually set the alarm clock every night.

Alternatively, you could Google "Rube Goldberg" for more ideas along this
line. :-D

I'm sorry, couldn't help myself. Just in a quirky mood today. :-)
 
Thank you, Miss Mae, but I already tried that. The ball bearing simply
bounced off the CPU switch, hitting the floor and waking me up. Not an
improvement.

Rube Goldberg's approach would have required a live animal, which I don't
currently have.

But I am glad to see you're enjoying "spirits" of the holidays. Hoist one
for me.
 
Well...(1) I do not observe "the holidays" and (2) I get into quirky moods
often and don't need to hoist "spirits" to enjoy life. :-) Seriously, I hope
you find a solution to your question. Have a great day!
