Thanks, I don't recall seeing that line in mine before, either. And it
always did work for me.

I was taking a look in the BIOS/UEFI, and it looks like everything is
okay. My building did have a power outage last Thursday (May 31), but
I'm pretty sure the wakeup continued working after that. Anyway, it
looked like the "Wake on RTC" setting was still Enabled. After I try
to set a wakeup time, if I reboot into the BIOS the Wake on RTC time
is still set to something like:
Days: 15
Hour: 0
Min: 0
Sec: 0

(the machine is off at the moment, if it's important I can turn it on
when I come home from work and get the exact numbers it shows. But I
think it's just indicating that the alarm isn't actually getting set)

Thanks,
aaron
