Can't get it to load - Version: 2.02, 3/13/2008 04:21PM PST

iAlarm sounds like just what I was looking for, but I can't get this 2.02 version to load on my iMac (PowerPC G4 running OS X 10.4.11). When I launch the program, it immediately quits ("unexpectedly quit").

I travel a lot for work and always have my macbook pro with me. With this product I am able to wake up to the latest BBC news report and then have my ACDC playlist start playing in iTunes. Nothing like a little rock n roll to get me moving in the morning. -Stan
The Energy Saver issue is the only drawback, and a minor one IMHO. You have to make sure your Energy Saver panel in the Mac's System Preferences is set to put the computer to sleep "Never", cuz if it does, iAlarm can't wake the beast back up to play the alarm.
You can use iAlarm's built-in energy-saver feature to put the Mac to sleep in a way that will allow iAlarm to wake it back up on time and play the alarm, but only at the expense of not being able to use the Sleep Timer feature, which is my main use of iAlarm. The trade-off is OK with me, but prevents me from giving iAlarm a 100% excellent rating. It only gets 95% -- still pretty good and well worth the modest registration fee, or delayed startup and reminder message if you don't register.
