So for those who need an effective, reliable alarm clock...this thing should help you out:
GS AlarmClock
I'm just saying it's really easy to set, very loud and simple to use.
Plus it's free.

enAlarmPPC 3.2
This is a new one that just added 240x240 support with 3.2. It also works very well with a lot of customization, easy interface and lite (320kb).
Costs just under $8 but it's worth it, imo.
