Does anyone know of a "alarm" clock client available for X?  I would 
find such a tool very useful.   Something which a user could set and 
have it pop up a window with a user defined message.

    How about it X-Gods?  (Xods ??) :-)


I would also like to throw my two cents in on the recent discussion of 
splitting up comp.windows.x.  I'm all in favor of it.  Currently I 
have two days worth of net-news (on comp.win.x, alone) to catch up on 
and this amounts to 48 messages.  

I find myself junking messages (sometimes) that I probably should read, 
but I can't keep up.  My wife is about ready to take a hammer to the 
terminal I have at home.  I would much prefer a "beginner's" newsgroup 
for X.
