Thanks Schmidti,

This is my opinion...

Before I decided on how to implement the wake-up-feature I searched the web quite well and came across these BIOS timer programs. Since I wanted a simple (well, fairly simple) program to use and configure suitable for most people I went for the way suppoted by windows API though.

I've not made any testing regarding power consumption but I doubt you'll find the BIOS timer method using less power than hibernate. My wild guess is that windows uses the very same BIOS timer.

When comparing suspend mode to hibernate concerning power consumption there is of cource some difference since suspend mode to some extent keep memory, cpu and fans running.

Keep ideas coming!
