Re: Event scheduling and reminders

[Martin Howell <martin.howell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks guys, I never use Outlook so didn't realise it could do this.  It
would be nice to link the events to the mechanics of the house so that
things happened by themselves, but this is going to take a while to
finish :-)  In the meantine, I just need a simple wooden reminder system
that doesn't let things slip under the radar if I forget to check it
occasionally.  I'll play with Outlook, thanks.
