I think the suggestion to go to Google for that is a good one. Yahoo also has a similar thing you can use. They're free so all you have to do is sign up for them. Then of course, you can make them public to let other people see them if you wish. Or not. There are a number of 3rd party programs that will also do what you want. You could try a google search on PIM or personal informaiton manager and see what comes up. Beware sites you've never heard of; stay with mainstream names if you can, or even ask here for suggestions about what other people use. If what you want is something more private and it doesn't have to be onthe internet, then Outlook, which is part of Microsoft Office, has all you want and more. Assuming you have Outlook installed, that is. I like it because it'll notify you of things x days or hours in advance of an appt, in addition to the actual appt. The Journal is quite handy too. In my case I use Outlook's (not Outlook Express; different) calendar, journal and notes system along with the various calendar displays as my boot-page. If you'd like something fast and less obtrusive, there is a program called Kana Reminder that I use to keep track of meetings and medication schedules, doctor appts, client appts, etc. etc. etc.. It's most useful and requires the least work with recurring appts but it works fine for future dates or even setting something for x hours from "now". I even replaced the standard alert notifications with voice messages stating precise details that go along with the date/time programmed. Kana Reminder can be downloaded from: http://www.kanasolution.com/index.php?fid=11&pid=2 It's free, fast, very small memory use, and lots of other functions. IT'll even run programs at startup and shut down for you. You can pop it up when windows starts or any time you want. It is NOT a calendar display though; if you need that, one of the other solutions would be better. Mine loads when windows starts, but I don't see anything of it until something comes due.
