After it  blinks 500 times,  it will denote  a thermonuclear explosion
that should destroy half   of the  civilized  world   or at least  all
unscrupulous Apple dealers.  With that in mind, why don't you leave it
on a couple of nights :^)?

By the way, I'm just  kidding.  Try turning   the Alarm Clock's  alarm
off.  It never shuts itself off.  When the alarm  goes off, if  the AC
is not the active accessory, it  just sets the  Apple Menu to blinking
instead of beeping.
