- The Reminder control panel from Now Up-To-Date 2.0 can handle this
- quite nicely. You must schedule the events (alarms) through the Now
- UTD calendar, but Reminder allows you to edit individual event
- information, change sounds (e.g. different sounds for each event),
- etc. It also supports recurring events, so in your example, if you
- wanted to have an alarm for each hour of the day, with a different
- sound for each alarm, you could make an event for each hour on day one
- and have them recur each day after that. I believe Now UTD runs about
- $75-100 mail order. It's one of the best calendar/schedulers I've
- seen.
