Of all the features Telechron alarms carried*, this was far and away the most idiotic. An alarm that continued ringing forever until you shut it off. In the past, alarms would ring for about twenty minutes then kindly shut off. If you're such a mush head that you can't hear an alarm ringing two feet from your head for 20 minutes, you probably don't have anything to get up for anyway. Isn't this the same ad that worries the ticking of a windup clock might wake you? As for the REAL problem: that &#*! alarm. At UMASS, I lived in a suite with 8 other guys. One guy went home for the weekend but left his alarm set. It went off and sounded ALL DAY. We didn't have the key to get in and turn it off (we were thinking of worse things to do to it...) Finally, we got a sympathetic R.A. to let us pull the fuse to his room. (We forgot he had an aquarium in there but we were able to get some shuteye.)
