blim Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Sorry to dig up such an old thread, but wanted to let you all know that Mike did find an alarm clock from you folks, (don't know which one) He said it works great and he likes it alot!! Thanks again, Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikex Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Liz,Don't look at it as "digg up an old thread" it is letting those who helped know the problem was fixed. Helps us know that we are doing the right thing. Many people do not post back when the fix is applied to let the forum know how it was done, myself included.Thanks for the post back, a good habit to start.M Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chachazz Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 tg9111 - me too - I was going to recommend Clock-Xfound it a long time ago and it is my little fav....http://www.clocx.tk/and Liz..just think all the new members get to benefit since they weren't here at the time of the conversation... I like it when an old thread is resurrected which contains valuable info....it's like not missing the boat after all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Banjiko Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Reading through this has sparked an idea in my head. This Clock-x program can be set to shut down the computer, but is there a way to get your comp to turn on at a certain time? I was just wondering how one might do this and such.
