When I was 10 years old, I picked up a Sony "Dream Machine" (ICF-C370). Not only does the alarm stay set, it requires pressing _two_ buttons to turn it off. Not in succession, either, you have to press them both in the proper order - first the 'Alarm' button, and while holding that down, the 'Alarm on/off' button. I've been using this alarm for 15 years and it's performed flawlessly. Although I'm extremely happy with it, I find myself requiring more, as of late. See, I'm not some gimp that requires the use of the snooze button. My problem is that the snooze button is so large that I accidentally hit while fumbling to turn the alarm off. Then, while I'm happily showering or something, it starts going off. I need a way of reducing the size of the snooze button, or disabling it entirely. Also, my clock makes annoying clicking noises if I set my phone to close to it... I'm sad that the alarm clock market sucks so bad now... I really want to find a good one :( -- GabeTurner
