IIRC there was a Timex watch/pda that allowed you to set alarms on the watch
using a PC program.

I'd image the difficulty would be in getting the timing correct if you are
using a win32 platform.  Windows timers aren't very accurate, and I'm not sure
if you can access the accurate timers in the video card.

This is a really cool idea though, keep us posted!  It would be nice to be able to emulate a serial port through the monitor, using the schematic that Jinx
posted on the PIC side.
