A little too pricey...
I would have been interested, but $20 is far too expensive. $5 would have been more like it.
For $20 I'd expect it to be supplied with a small set of amplified amplified speakers so it would actually be able to wake me up!

I don't think my PPC would ever be loud enough to wake me up.

I was thinking the same thing. $20 for an alarm clock program? 8O
Sometimes, I wonder about Applian. They come out with cool software and then they charge too much for it. I like their stuff a lot, but who's gonna pay $20 for a program that'll play an MP3 instead of a tone for an alarm?
Nice program, but it needs to be about $10 cheaper before it's reasonable. :razz:

For half the price, Super Alert has really good alarm features and you can certainly wake up to (or sleep through) your music files.

I guess I'm lucky - or unlucky depending how you look at it. I'm such a light sleeper, my Pocket PC wakes me up every morning and it's set only on volume level 2!

Agree, this is a $5 software product, not $20.

For $5 you can go out and buy a nice travel clock that is loud and has a snooze that you don't have to worry about cracking the screen when you reach over and slam your hand down trying to shut the little bugger up. Plus you never have to worry about if your alarm clock is charged or if its in need of a soft reset (My Casio EM500 failed to wake me up once because it needed a reset :zzz: ).
How many people are coherent enough in the morning to pick up a PDA grab the stylus and turn off a alarm :?:

lunch money
I was sitting here going over my receipts from yesterday and totally agreeing with all of these comments about price. I then picked up my receipt from lunch yesterday at an average restaraunt for an average meal that I paid $9 dollars for including tip.....
Looking at it this way, 20 bucks for a program somebody wrote that will improve my life every day seems rather reasonable now.
just thinkin'
