I agree with you.  I'm the one who "fixed" the alarm clock, and I'm also the
one who designed the Easy Access icons.  I'm rather disappointed in their
obscurity, but we couldn't come up with anything better.

If anyone can recommend a way to improve these icons, I'd like to hear it.
Better yet, post to this newsgroup so that others can become involved as well.
