Huh?

If you work in tech long enough you will, inevitable, come across a fix that leaves you going “Why would anything be designed to do THAT?”

In that spirit I give you this link over on Pocket PC Thoughts about fixing intermittent alarm problems. Not a difficult workaround, but certainly one that makes very little sense.
