This alarm clock and reminder software comes with some preset alarm clock sounds but you can also have it play your own MP3 files (media player required).
Wake up News computer alarm clock development was started in 1999 by Eric Bernatchez, a freelance journalist who wanted to read his newspapers online in order to save hundreds in newspaper subscribtion fees annually and avoid having to cope with tons of papers to recycle.
