ACT!: Enhanced by SWITCH!; Louder Alarms (95LX)

Using the SWITCH! program I assigned ACT!95 to (APPT) and the built-in APPT program to (ALT)-(APPT). I now use ACT95! almost entirely for appointments. The APPT functions I use are world-time in Watch (F9) and for some flight schedules, which are cumbersome in ACT!95.

SWITCH! greatly improves the alarms. They will now go off at any time I want, and sound like an electronic telephone ring. There are five volume settings, which I define as: 1) Off; 2) Able to be heard in an office; 3) Able to be heard in an airplane; 4) Able to be heard in an airport; 5) Able to be heard standing on the runway! While that might be a slight exaggeration, the first time I heard the alarm on high volume, it literally scared me! You won't believe how much sound can come out of your 95LX.
