Any ideas on a GOOD freeware Alarm Clock?

The one I wrote in a little dinky scripting language (AutoIT) is now busted, any idea on what I can use now?

Use a Windows Scheduled task to open media player / winamp (you can put a path to a track to play in command line).

do a search for Banshee Screamer if you just want a nice alarm clock. The default sound is an annoying buzz guaranteed to wake you, but you can set it to play mp3's as well. The writer's home page is broken, but you can find it if you search.

This is the one i use, it's the most popular downloaded alarm clock on download.com:

Alarm Clock Freeware

You can set every individual day, time and use either the built in noise or your own mp3's. I've had to use this as a backup on occasion to my regular alarm for important days that i cannot oversleep!
