Calendar

#1 Post by Meta03 » Fri Feb 27, 2009 10:22 am

I am trying to find a free calendar I can use with Windows XP to keep important days on my Thinkpad. I would like something to alert me of upcoming events.
I forgot my mom's birthday this year. :eek:
Any suggestions?

You can also schedule a task to run on a specific date. For the task, have it run a particular txt, doc, jpg, mp3, or whatever file. You can set this up in Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks.

I used to have an mp3 file run daily for my alarm clock.

OK. It's a shame you didn't say that.

Lotus Organiser and MS Outlook have calendars that work offline.

I hope not. Joseph McCarthy has been dead for over 50 years.

Is there a hint that Google is communist? I doubt it. :roll:
