Including my appointments?

Thanks.

Hey, don't mind me. I'm just having some fun.
Well, the actual number for an exact repeat of the calendar is 27
years. There may be some repeats in between, I'm not about to sit
down and figure it out, but you will always get repeats at 27.

Or maybe not, Bill. Just wait another six years and check again.
You're going to be late for a lot of appointments by a few years.
2009 current year + 11 years
2015 6 years after + 6 years
2026 17 years after + 11 years
2037 28 years after + 11 years
2043 34 years after + 6 years
2054 45 years after + 11 years
2065 56 years after + 11 years
Prior to 2009:
1998: 11 years earlier
1987: 11 years earlier
1981: 6 years earlier
This is as far I back as I can recall
There are only 14 possible calendars. Get one of each and then
you are all set.

That's assuming you don't care about those lunar holidays that
move around every year.
Ok, then there are only 392* possible calendars. Might just as well
buy a new one each year :-)
*Assuming 28 days in a lunar month which probably isn't strictly true.
We have that too, and sometimes jot things on it.
But I bought a PIM a couple years ago after trying about 20 of them.
I like this one, and once I put my addresses - with birthdates - in
there I always get timely reminders and haven't missed a birthday or
other "appointment" yet.
Just wasn't the case with the calendar. Sometimes days go by without
looking at it.
And I don't want to put recurring stuff on a calendar every year.
Besides, the PIM has all my various account and password info,
and one click links to most everywhere I go.
Still have a calendar on the kitchen wall though. Pretty pictures.

I'll bite, what is a PIM?
Personal Information Manager.
Plenty out there to try free. Just google.
I went with C-Organizer Pro. 30 bucks I think.
But everybody's got personal tastes on what they like.
One of the selling points for me with this one is it imported all
my info in csv format, so I could get it from my old address book
software without re-typing everything or cut/pasting.
Still had to tweak some.
But there's plenty of other things I like about it.
Like anything else it takes a while to set up and get used to.
But after that it's a breeze.

Send a dollar (and it's deductible, too!) to the Disabled American Veterans and
you'll be supplied with beautiful calendars for the rest of your life.

I favor tkremind. Simple, useful, free... I also carry around one of those
little checkbook-size month-at-a-glance calendars that some charity gives out.
Anybody who needs anything more complex needs to learn to relax :-)
Too complicated and time-consuming. Much easier for both of us to just write
our appointments on one calendar so we both know what's going on. My only
machine-kept info is my order queue generated by email, which also has all
my client contacts. As far as personal stuff goes I know it all by heart, so
keeping an "address book" isn't necessary (it's all in the email folder
anyway). Hell, I have a cell phone that I use for emergencies only but I
don't even know the number much less have it programmed to do anything.

I see at the maul they're doing 50% off. and what I do for the old
calendars in glue a new month from a gift commercial give a way calendar
on an old "picture" calendar.
And I date a few checks with 2010 ahead, like today.
and
Happy New Year all !

Hint; Enjoy the moment !
Thanks for the memories, VFW.
In the old days up on the top floor of Ford headquarters, there was a
sign in front of the exit of the men's restroom that read, "Remember
to Zip Up."
Seems like you are majoring in minors instead of cramming for your
finals.

Because a proper modern electronic alternative works a hell of a lot
better with the stuff that is repeated year after year etc and with the
other stuff that happens mulltiple times a year like reminders to do
a logon with banks whose accounts you dont use much so they dont
drop into inactive mode and the higher frequency stuff like buying
more meds etc.

Yup. My DH gave me an Ipod touch for Xmas and my initial thought was, "Waaay
too much car for me", but he eventually got it to interface with my low-end
PC and I was finally able to load my MP3s onto it, which is ALL I plan to
use it for. Download apps? For money? Are you nuts? I just want to hear some
tunes when I'm on a long flight next Feb. Not exactly high-tech. The only
other option was trying to balance my cd player on my knee while flying over
the Atlantic...not so much...
