I think the real thing here is that this would be a great feature -
think of it as a Feature Request. I know it's not the first time I've
heard it asked for, and referring users to a combination of AppleScript,
cron, chewing gum and paste isn't very... mainstream.
IMO, it should be a feature, and I think it'd be a killer one at that.

Or for a slightly more user-friendly experience (where user != unix
geek), you could use iCal to schedule the AppleScript.

Thank You Steve!
Yes that would be a feature that I'd very much like to have.
Guess I'm stupid, but I don't know how to "Applescript", "cron",
etc..., I use software, I can't develop it.
Happy Holidays,
George
