something i've always wanted, and will eventually do, is an ordinary
digital alarm clock, but one with a keypad for setting time and alarm
time!  i.e. just key in "7:45am" instead of the stupid forward backward
or worse yet just forward counting buttons which i've always considered
stupid and a pain.  i've even seen clock/calculator combinations that
still make you do things the hard way when they already have the
keyboard available!  it might even be nice to be able to set a
"relative" alarm, i.e. set it for now + the time period keyed in so you
could easily nap for "x" amount of time, when you are too tired to do
math well.
