Freeware alarm clock

Can anybody recommend me a good, featureful freeware alarm clock? Something that doesn't suck up resources, can disappear to the taskbar, but is still moderately configurable? Preferable allowing several alarms to be programmed at once?

I don't have a link handy, but a shareware app with a free trial that might get you halfway to what you are driving at would be SayTheTime. Google should get you to a download.

If this doesn't work out, I'm sorry for not having a better suggestion handy. good luck!

No Nags has an entire freeware category called "Time/Alarm Tools - Freeware." Try there.

Thanks, everyone - I will look into them. Now that I have the baby taking and waking up from naps at specific times, plus my older son going to school, there is some kid-related thing that has to be done and cannot be missed every 45-90 minutes throughout the day (Put kid A to bed, 60 minutes, get B ready for school, 30 minutes, get B on the bus, 30 minutes, wake A up, one hour, feed A, 45 minutes, A to bed, 90 minutes get B off the bus and put him to bed, 75 minutes, wake A and B up.)

Since my gaming time comes during these naps, I am absolutely paranoid about missing one of the times - the bus, for instance. I want to be able to set myself reminders for five minutes or so before each item so I don't have to sit there and twitch toward the clock every three minutes.

The best I've found -- the one I always use -- is the freeware utility Multitimer. I replaced the default alarm.wav with my own. It includes 10 independent timers and a wonderfully efficient interface.

You may also find a use for the freeware Week Scheduler from the same source.

I use the Banshee Screamer....If you can sleep through this badboy then you need the sleep.

Works great spacebar is the snooze button which is probably why my spacebar doesn't work so well anymore.
