Why were you "annoyed" by that? This, after all, is the point of having more
than one tool in your bag -- each will potentially catch some things that the

I wouldn't call it "normal"; but that sort of thing is certainly not unheard
of. I tend to dislike full-time/resident "nagging nanny" programs for
precisely this reason (among others). As a general rule, if you are not doing
foolish things with your computer, TeaTimer *shouldn't* be necessary.
