Make your PC a five-alarm computer with this program. Peter's Ultimate Alarm Clock (PUAC) lets you program an infinite number of alarms that can trigger specific actions. If you want Madonna to wake you up in the morning, or perhaps your mother's voice to tell you to take the garbage out, PUAC can do it. To add alarms, right-click a day in the program calendar. If you've a number of reoccurring alarms, it's easy to switch them on or off in the main program window. Aside from the more basic functions, however, PUAC is cluttered with icons and confusing buttons. We couldn't figure out why there are two calendars, and what exactly does scope unit mean, anyway? It's ultimately up to you whether to have the extra 10 MB of memory to dedicate to this digital nag, but if you're the forgetful type, it just might be the right alarm clock for you.
If busy, that someone had remind or wake up to do next

Pros
Everything's in Peter's Ultimate Alarm Clock. Every single configuration you can think of. Simply wonderful, especially if you're a student; the settings of an alarm call are sufficiently detailed. The first hour I used this alarm program, I thought Pete couldn't have thought of a better, more appropriate name for his ingenious program.
Cons
Cluttered interface, particularly the calendar view. That certainly needs work. But it just takes some getting use to. Don't know about you... I took 10 minutes :)
Summary
Fantastic, a real life saver. I am more productive than ever.

Pros
I am using version 3.3. I have used or tested it on both XP Pro and 2003 Server. It is stable on both systems. This little gem is worth it's weight in gold. I exclusively use it with a female "natural voice" to announce periodic reminders, tasks or appointments. My wife loves it too, though she never uses it first hand. Now she has relinguished the role of nagging to the computer, and now she just smiles everytime that voice announces another "to-do" that I need accomplish. Now we focus on more important things, mainly eachother. She is normally not impressed with technology toys, but with PUAC taking over the job she had, she has now assumed the role of "best friend" and "flirt". I have been blown over by her increased interest in the bedroom, since using Peter's Ultimate Alarm Clock with a female natural voice. Maybe my wife feels the need to compete for attention, now that there is another woman in our home to nag her husband through-out the day of all the little things that need to be done. It even reminds us when our favorite TV shows are starting. We love it.
Cons
Some of the "Periodic" options, and "Advance" options are still a little confusing, but this is still new for me and I am still learning how to exploit these features more each day. Also, my 12 year old son resents being reminded to do his homework or to take out the trash by a talking computer, or that he has to go to Scouts today at 4 o'clock.

Great if you want to screw up your operating system!

If you decide that you don't want to be reminded with a small box every 15 - 20 minutes to register the product and decide instead to remove the program . . . good luck! It doesn't work. You'll continue to get windows upon windows piling up whenever you're not there to methodically erase each one.

Impossible to use it !

I let time go by without notice and missed important programs on the net. This alarm clock does it all and really grabs my attention. It will even intrupt full windows games instead of hiding underneath until you close out of a game. The interupt is exactly what I needed. Great bells and whistles!
Great little program

Before I installed the new version, my only complaint was that it didn't support MP3s. Now that it does, however, it does everything I need it to. Great product.
Alert yourself about important events with different alarms.PUAC is an alarm clock that sits in the system tray and lets you sound as many alarms as you like. Options include periodic alarms, snoozing, sound alarms that go off while the program is inactive, visual alarms, voice messages, and the ability to open files, programs, and URLs. Alarms come in groups that can be saved to disk. You can synchronize with Outlook tasks and appointments. Alarms can be set to sound at a specific time, and color-coding of alarms provides a clear overview. A plug-in system allows easy extension of the program by creating custom action, import, export, and synchronization plug-ins.
