The plugin version of the alarm uses all of the number keys for a 10-minute snooze, and the 4 arrow keys for turning off. Only once since I wrote the thing have I hit the arrow keys while still too sleepy to pay attention. Far less than the number of times I've left the amplifier set for dvd input and woke up to silence an hour after the alarm was supposed to wake me :) -kdf _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
