What the hell is a "calendar"?

It's used to remind you when to go to your boat. 8)


What boat? ......

I need directions.

Turn left.

You'll get there eventually. :)

No NO Never turn left. Always turn right. You will save gas.

Good. Since I was asked I won't be accused of spamming.
C-Organizer Pro.
Few things I would improve on.
1. More calendar views - only has monthly.
2. Birthdays in address book can throw reminders, but don't bold on
calendar. Solution: Make BD a recurring appointment. That bolds it.
3. Hot button to invoke e-mail client for an address entry sometimes
doesn't work. That's a bug to me, but no big deal. I'll eventually
find out what's causing it, or there will be a patch.

Every thing else works fine, and the reminders have already "saved my
ass" a couple times.
I've got most of my stuff in there now, and the import from CSV is the
slickest I've seen, and I tested at least 30 PIM's.
Easy to customize address book contents, so every family member and
friend doesn't have a bunch of empty "business" fields.
This is the only one that allowed easy import from Excel, where I had
most of my stuff. The links to banking/business sites are now in
there too.
Anyway, it's free to try, and works for me.

Am considering this laptop for my wife's birthday in a couple weeks. Best
Buy has it on sale for $999. I'll add another gig of RAM and router.

Depending on what she'll use if for it may be over-kill.


Yeahbut, she likes it. We skipped the extra gig of RAM. Seems it has only
two slots, one with two gigs, the other with one gig. In order to upgrade
to 4 gigs, I'd have to trash one gig and buy two. Hell with it. We'll see
how it works with only three.

Good luck with Vista! I can still get XP Pro at a decent price if you
want to scrap that OS.

Too much....Buy a Gateway and get more computer for half the price.

Too late. What does Gateway have that's better for $500?


http://www.buy.com/prod/gateway-m-67...duo-processor-
t5450-3072-mb-250/q/loc/101/208033962.html

$1300 computer, refurbished, for $579. This isn't a laptop, it's a
mainframe in a laptop case....an amazing machine.

I like refurb'd computers because their parts are already burned in. Any
failures have ALREADY happened and the REFURB shop has already replaced
them. They are better than new....

read the reviews....there's 57 of them at Best Buy, alone and it gets over
4 stars out of 5.

Computers this fast should come with seatbelts....(c;

For XP laptop, I like AMD X2. Call me nuts but like them a lot.
