I hope this is the last word on this incredibly boring topic. The blinking
can be caused by other software that has an "Alarm" function. Not all
system files you own have the same collection of DAs installed.

To turn it off:
1.) find a disk with Alarm Clock on the desk accessories menu (apple menu)
one of Apple's standard distribution disks will do.
2.) open Alarm clock
3.) click on the little "lever" in the alarm clock window
4.) click on the picture of the alarm clock
5.) flick the siwtch to "off".
