ABSTRACT:
A clock has a solid state memory or other storage medium containing many messages, each of which preferably is appropriate to a particular date, time of day, week, season, etc. The clock is self-contained, without connection to any network for message content. In setting the clock the user can choose that a message be selected by the internal microprocessor at the appointed time. A specific embodiment is a clock radio which can be set for alarm, radio programming and/or day-specific message. The stored messages are presented in verbal form for the user, via digital storage or voice synthesizer. In specific forms the clock or clock radio contains messages relating to similar dates in history, horoscopes based on the user's birth date, anonymous-type programs, or other messages that have appropriate content for a particular time or date.
