STEP TWELVE (Setting an Alarm)

Back in Step 5, we added a 10 a.m. appointment on the 5^th (and later changed it to 11 a.m.), right? To make sure you remember that appointment, we're going to set an alarm to remind you. First, repeat Step 11 to set your appointment to a specific time (from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.). Then, click directly on that appointment on the 5^th in your calendar. In the Info pane about halfway down, you'll see the word "Alarm." To set a reminder alarm, click once directly on the word "None," which appears to the right of the word "Alarm," and a pop-up menu of alarms will appear. You have a number of different choices, including having a message window pop up onscreen, having it pop up onscreen and sound a warning alert, or having iCal email you a reminder (among other things). For now, choose Message with Sound, and eventually a message window will appear onscreen to remind you, plus a sound will play to get your attention. Now, exactly when will this happen? That's up to you.
