Thank you VERY much for your information. I just downloaded and installed the software (which seems to do EVERYthing I wanted my alarm to do). Now I'll just hafta watch and see if it actually wakes me up. I will update this thread with my findings. Thanks again.

It may not... even BurrOak themselves acknowledge this if you read the FAQ:
http://www.burroak.on.ca/ptafaq.html#turnon

WakeUp Tweak, which they offer through that page for free, does work 100%. The WakeUp Tweak essentially tells the entire system to go to the 'Full On' power state, instead of going through the 'Resuming from Standby' transitional power state. Unfortunately, the side-effect for many devices is that they randomly turn on for seemingly no good reason. Which means that the screen appears to 'flash on', before flashing off again. As a result of this, on those devices, you'll be draining much more energy (due to the backlight and screen coming on, but also due to the power state changes - see also the MSDN articles on this) than if you were to simply leave the device on (but the backlight+screen off).
