Tuesdays

One of the most welcome improvements to Mac OS X Panther has been the return of the startup and shutdown schedule. I know some people advocate leaving computers on all the time, but doing this with one computer for one night uses as much energy as a small Peruvian mountain village does in a whole year.

Or something.

So it's great not to have to wait for startup every morning, and the Mac is up and ready to go when I get in to work. Except Tuesdays.

On Tuesdays, it never starts up automatically. Peter will confirm that I mentioned this last Tuesday and the Tuesday before. It's a mystery.
