COMMENT: Hey, remember to read The Pocket Newsletter! If you need to be reminded of birthdays, appointments, tax payments or even newsletters, Alarm Clock might be the free application for you.

Alarm Clock uses Microsoft Agent to show a talking animated alarm. The alarm can also play any sound you choose and includes a handy snooze button. Alarms can be set to go off once, daily, weekly, monthly or annually. Each alarm can have multiple schedules. A Windows system tray icon provides quick access to the alarm clock.


 Set your time, date, and frequency of alarm.



Pick an alarm sound. A favorite song?



Alarm pops up at appointed time.


Bottom Line Positive: Does the reminder job well. Keeps a small footprint, just a small icon in the system tray.

Bottom Line Negative: Couldn't make the animated wizard speak. Downloaded needed Microsoft software but still no voice.
