    A lot of features on a clock for a little bit of money.

    I just discovered a website called www.Dormco.com that specializes in gadgets for the dorm. One that really caught my attention is the Calming Blue Alarm Clock. It really does have a great blue glow when you press the button, but the light turns off after only about 3 seconds, so it’s not very calming. I can see why it turns off so quickly though, since the clock is battery operated only. (It runs on 3 AAA batteries which you supply.) This clock is small enough (about 5” high by 2.5” wide” to fit just about anywhere. Great for students living in dorm rooms that are not know for being large in size. This clock does have a lot of features, especially for the low price. You pick from a choice of 7 electronic musical theme wake up alarms and you can also set it for a nap without unsetting the alarm time. But wait, there’s more. It also shows the days of the week, the temperature and it does have a snooze alarm. And if you want, you can set so it plays a Birthday song on that special day – yours or someone elses. The website says other retailers charge $7.99 for this clock, while Dormco's price is a low $5.89. (You save $2.10) I also like that Dormco has a low shipping rate of just $2.95 for your entire order. Leo’s daughter Abby will be starting college in August, so Leo said he expects to stock up with many dorm goodies at this website.
