The most annoying software anywhere?

Banshee Screamer

NAME and DOWNLOAD LINK: Banshee Screamer

DESCRIPTION: Industrial strength alarm clock.

SIZE: 1.07MB, self-executing.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: Win95+; sound system is recommended.

COMMENT: Banshee Screamer operates pretty much like a standard clock radio alarm - one that can handle up to 99 separate alarms to go off any day of the week at any time, and display messages of your making.

There's even a snooze "button" you can activate with a mouse, or, and we don't recommend this, smashing the keyboard.

It's terrific for scheduling appointments, TV programs, document updates, Web site checks, or shutting down your computer at the time you set.

Alarm settingsBy the author's own admission, Banshee Screamer includes an "extra-annoying default alarm beep." We suggest you employ that as a last resort since you can chose from Westminster chimes, a crowing rooster, mooing cow, or any WAV, AU, or MP3 file you have laying about. Even one you made yourself.

We've found it effective to start with something less intrusive than the alarm beep, then slowly build to it if you happen to literally fall asleep at the keyboard.

Banshee Screamer automatically keeps its clock accurate by setting the time off the Internet hourly, daily, or weekly - you decide.

Don't care for the default appearance? Feel free to download over 500 skins from other sources. Additional goodies include a timer and a counter so you don't burn the meatloaf. And it comes in seven languages.

Once caution: Your computer will not go into a "sleep" mode while Banshee Screamer is active. Who would wake it up to wake you up?

It's cool.
