You had me really confused there for a moment.  I thought you were talking
about the company that makes navigational devices at first and couldn't
for the life of me figure out what they had to do with it.  Obviously, I had the
wrong Garmin...

But "personal 1202 alarm" is the funniest thing I've seen all day.  I'm going
to have to start using that expression.  My students won't have a clue what
I'm talking about.  Hopefully it'll be a good way to educate them a bit.
