They had some other clocks with flashing lights that were cool too. I've often thought that I might like to have a doorbell that just flashes the lights in the room instead of having to hear an annoying DING DONG. Usually when I hear that sound, it makes me jump!

I have this -- used it for years. It's a very useful clock -- the batteries last a good long while, but you need to make sure to turn off the alarm before you leave in the morning, or the batteries will drain all day :P It's a small price to pay to make sure that the clock doesn't *not* go off in case of a power outage. It's also nice and portable. Also, the backlight is a soothing green and doesn't wreck night vision when you're waking up at oh-dark-hundred. Anyway, it's amusing to me that my alarm clock made it into the "New Gadget" section given how long I've been using it. (ps - I'm deaf, so there are probably a number of other cool-to-uninitiated-people accessibility gadgets floating around out there) Heh. I have this — used it for years.
