at a specific time. E-larm allows users to activate messages, shutdown the computer,

to schedule an event or edit the settings for one already in the event queue.
Reminders allow events which were missed for any reason to be activated when the user
decides. Easy access to basic options allows E-larm to be simply configured.
Whether you use a PC for work or leisure, E-larm is an essential utility for you.
