I own (and use) Smart Alarms, and it is very solid and reliable, but the 
user interface could be much better. From the literature I've seen, 
Alarming Events seems to offer most of the features that are missing in 
Smart Alarms. But is it really a good program? Anybody used both programs 
enough to compare them? How buggy is Alarming Events?
