You must schedule the events (alarms) through the Now UTD calendar, but Reminder allows you to edit individual event information, change sounds (e.g. different sounds for each event), etc. It also supports recurring events, so in your example, if you wanted to have an alarm for each hour of the day, with a different sound for each alarm, you could make an event for each hour on day one and have them recur each day after that. I believe Now UTD runs about $75-100 mail order. It's one of the best calendar/schedulers I've seen. Kurt Marko
