Hello JoeSpareBedRoom,
Your welcome. And I understand, anything that makes good sense is just no
fun...!
Especially if your a youngn'.
Anyway, The calendar is really cool, you can change the transparency and
drag-and-set anywhere on the desktop.
The "To-Do" list that comes with it I don't use and therefore leave turned
off. The calendar "scheduled events" feature such as a dentist appointment
can be set to turn on a alarm as a reminder. Select in minutes or days for
the alarm and at that time (or when you boot) a message will pop-up on your
desktop to remind you. Really useful way to keep up with your mother
in-law's Birthday or the kids ball game schedule, so-on and so-on.
The DeskTop Clock (Meter) is really nice too! Look to the left on the same
web page, you should see a link.
When downloading, get the manuals too. They will be a useful reference if
needed.
Anyway... thank-you for the thank-you!
Richard in Va.
