Why can't APPLE overwrite the apple menu with an alarm clock, instead
of just blinking the d*mn thing!?!?  This would give most users a
PRAYER of figuring out what is going on!

I can't believe Apple doesn't have a user-interface design group that
hasn't solved this confusion problem!  Or do the user-interface people
at Apple have no say any more??
