Yes, exactly. Let's say I have a permanent date each thursday (I
always use dates, not to-dos) that says "recharge your iPod". It
makes the Newton *brrrp* at 20:00. I am watching the news, but I will
hear it, and remember "ah, the iPod" and stick it into an outlet
after the news are through. I will forget about the alert though. The
Newton never forgets, so at 3am, when doing the housekeeping, it will
*brrrp* again, and the altert is always set to maximum volume so I do
not miss it.
I need something that mutes the alert-volume from 2:59 to 3:02.
I just have the idea that disabeling the "permanent alert" could help
- might that be the case?
