Why is there no timer on my compooper?

It comes with a calendar and a clock. Why not a timer?

Anyway, I just found SnapTimer, a simple, self-contained, low-memory .exe that's intuitive to use and customize. It even displays custom popup messages when the time is up. Mine is "Get off the Internet now!"

I should make my alarm sound a .wav file of Jareth saying "Time is short." ^_^

I always wondered the same thing. Thanks so much for that link! (Now I can at least act like I'm not going to waste so much time on the internet, lol!)

Great idea. I have a clip of Ludo saying, "SMELL BAAAD!" as the sound alert for new emails. It's especially hilarious if I have the sound up and am in the kitchen with my laptop, so my dad hears it. (Dad is also amused by my lamb "bah"ing sound alert for instant messages.) The Bog scene was my fav part growing up, and dad and I love laughing at farts.

Once upon a time, I had my computer's error sound set to Pinky yelling NARF! Oh, how that sound did startle quite a few people...
