Program your boot time

150 points posted to Software, Desktops and Laptops by brucemel 04/17/07

It would be great if you could program your computer to boot up at predetermined time. For businesses this would be great because they could manage the load in the morning. It would also be great for home use. It would be even better if when you logged off it asked you what time you wanted to boot up next because everyday might be different especially in Home and Small Business.

My Latitude D800 does this. In the bios is the option. Mine boots every day @ 0800hrs.

Apples do that for like, 5 years. - same for shutdown time too.

Nothing new... but still a good idea.
