It's possessed!

My iPod (10Gb, original model) just randomly turned on by itself! It was just sitting on the floor in front of me, only headphones plugged into it, when I noticed the backlight come on. I *swear*, nothing within 5 feet of it that could have made it turn on. One strange thing though - it seemed to have turned on at exactly midnight, Jan 30th (night of the 29th, morning of the 30th). Weird...

Anybody else have a similar ghost story?

This is ok. It has to do with the calendar and alarm function. Maybe the iPod starts up at midnight to look at the list of the next day. Don't know why the display turns on, but it does.
