It really is...the alarm clock. The alarm clock DA is just a mechanism for
setting the date and time, and setting the alarm function. The date, time
and alarm function are built in, regardless of whether you have the DA
installed. To get rid of your blinking apple, you need to boot from a 
system disk that has the alarm clock DA installed, or install it temporarily
in your system, and turn off the alarm. Really. Trust me.
