Apple knows that the blinking apple from the alarm clock is pretty lousy.
There was supposed to be a new manager built into the system toolbox for
prgrams to use. It didn't get finished in time for System 4.1, but it is
coming soon to a System file near you:

The Notification Manager.

This geezer is a uniform way for asynchronous tasks (like mail and reminder
service programs) to tell the operating system that it should try to get
the user's attention.  The operating system puts up a dialog, or plays a tune,
or emits a wolf whistle to get the user's attention to a "click here" button.
When the user clicks, he gets more information.

I'm glad the folks at apple are figuring out a standard user interface for
this kind of thing. I'm glad it is getting done, and I'm glad I don't have
to do it.

It was probably delayed to make real sure that it looked good in the
multi-finder environment.
