AndyG, I was absolutely not connected to SN at the time, everything was
off, as I state in my initial post.   I might add that I keep my PC in
hibernation when I’m not using it, but the PC didn’t come on, nor was
it on at the time – that too had been off for hours (in hibernation). 
AND I’VE NEVER USED THE SQUEEZEBOX AS AN ALARM, nor have I ever played
with the alarm settings.  None of the alarms are set.  All the
assumptions you’ve made in your posts are dead wrong!   I gave you all
the facts in the initial post.  

Snarly, you misread my initial post.  See the very first sentence. 
Nobody went to sleep with the server or anything running.  Everything
was turned off before retiring for the night – there is no uncertainty
about this whatsoever.  My evening routine is very definite, I don’t
plop down in bed while things and stuff are still on.  And the device
is set for a medium brightness anyway.  The thing came on at 5:30 am,
full brightness, and it wouldn’t turn off despite repeated hitting of
the red off switch.  And this has never happened before, day or night. 
Like I said, under the circumstances, THIS IS SPOOKY!

Marc Sherman:  Why do you censor my post?  The forums are for both
rants and raves.  I can’t decide which I prefer doing, so I do both.

Slimpy, give me your phone number.  I’d like to call you to wake you in
the middle of the night.   That is, unless you think that would be
annoying.

Everybody else:  all you geeks out there can’t come up with a plausible
resolution to this puzzle?  Andy, is it possible that stray IR signals
can switch something on in the SqueezeBox?  I couldn’t reproduce the
problem with my various remote controls, and it hasn’t happened before
or since, and I play it a lot, since buying it before Christmas.  I do
keep the SB remote next to it at night, but when I turn on the SB it
goes on half-brightness, as desired, with the usual display.  The
problem that occurred last night isn’t just that it went on by itself,
but that there was an error caused by the event of being turned on – it
wasn’t the usual “powering up” sequence.  AND IT WOULDN’T TURN OFF WITH
THE REMOTE, I HAD TO UNPLUG IT.  So come on, what’s going on?  This is
a serious problem.  Does this happen often?  Can I expect it to happen
again?  Is it “by design”?  Should I return it for a replacement?
