Am I missing something?
Nope. If a wall calendar works, it works.
Not necessarily a wall calendar - I have an organizer in my checkbook
that I write everything in and check every morning.


What's a checkbook? But...when I used one, I didn't always keep it
balanced.


I haven't used a checkbook since I got married. But, I have written
about 5 or 10 checks in the last 15 years.

Same here. Gifts only now, and I'm starting to do the online checks
for those too, when it works out.

I'm not always at my computer.


Me either. So I want my calendar/reminder software to be able to
print something to hang on the wall by the kitchen refrigerator, my
favorite place. That'll remind me to turn on the computer to see
what's happening, and if I need some new software.


Blackberry, it is my memory for phone numbers and my calendar too.

I resisted that at work, since they provided a laptop for off-site.
When I go on vacation I take a printed list of phone numbers.
Just got my first cell phone and my kid put in most of the numbers I
need, but I'll still take the paper with me just in case.
When I get my boat there's going to be a lot of thought given to what
electronics I'll want. For now I'm keeping it simple.
What keeps me away the most is my eyes don't want to read manuals
without +200 glasses and good light. I'm actually considering Lasik.
But I still haven't scheduled my colonoscopy, so fat chance on that.
