Lou:

One of these days, I'll get curious and try the alert function on the 
TMV71A, so if it scares the heck out of me, it will be my own fault, because 
Steve warned me!  (grin)

Actually, I have several "first Alert" radios around here, and hook them up 
to those square Radio Shack external speakers, and if that doesn't wake you 
up out of a sound sleep in the middle of the night, nothing will.

Somehow, my XYL has gotten used to the whole thing.
