Alarm clock failure
===================

During 2018 and 2019 I used the PSION Organiser IILZ as my alarm clock.
It  was very  good for  that:  it is  possible  to define  eight or  so
different alarms which can be  repeated daily, on workdays, on weekends
or just in selected day of week.  It fitted my needs very well. And she
sound was loud enough (unlike the  alarm on m68k Palms which is useless
because it is quiet and very short). It has been also practical to have
a simple note taking device near my  bed - to record some evening ideas
and so.

We  (me and  my wife)  normally need  at least  three alarms  for every
workday: first for my  wife to take her pills (it have  to be done well
before the breakfast), second for my  wife to wake up finally and third
as the last reminder that I have to wake up, too (it is because my wife
needs much more time to travel to her work). On some day I need to wake
up earlier  and this time usually  does not correlate with  these three
alarm  times. During  weekends tings  are easier  an we  need just  two
alarms.  The old  good PSION  was able  to easily  manage all  of these
things.

We were using my wife's Pebble smartwatch  as a backup but they are too
noisy to be used in house where are also flats of other people.

But I have realised during December that something is wrong - the PSION
stopped to play  any sound. Today I  tried to set up the  device but it
seems that  it is not software  problem. The speaker seems  to be dead.
This is unfortunate  because I don't have another working  IILZ and the
older PSION Organise  II devices don't have repeating  alarms (at least
not so  flexible ones). I will  research what I  am able to do  with my
Organiser IIXP anyway.

As a temporary solution I set up  my CASIO Cardclock but it can do only
one alarm (most  of traditional alarm clocks have the  same problem). I
will try to set up my wife's Palm T|X for other alarms but it is not an
ideal solution.

It you ask why I don't use a mobile phone for that - no mobile phone is
allowed in our bedroom.
