After painting signs for over 50 years and inhaling all those dreadful fumes I have become forgetful. I am looking for a program which will flash a message on my computer to remind me on a birthday, Wedding Day Anniversary etc. Important dates which I can enter in a program. Is there something like that for Windows98? Thanks Wolf

Printmaster is the best that I've found. It's one of those greeting card programs but I also use it to make biz cards, sihpping/address labels, letterhead.
You simply fill in the birthdays, etc and when you start your computer they pop up with that day's stuff. The only problem is that I don't turn off my computer much - good excuse to reboot once a day like you're supposed to.

Back in the days of (gasp)DOS, there was a dirt simple little program called Sidekick that did exactly what you are asking for.
Microsoft Outlook works well, and there is a good chance you probably have it on your computer already.
I bought a program called "Act" a while back, and it's been a good tool in helping me keep my "act" together. Pretty costly program tho, and probably not necessary when Outlook will work for what you are wanting.

All these are great but how do I remember to log them into my computer.

I use Outlook and I was not even aware of the reminder thing. Pretty slick! Vic G

Hay Wolf... If you have painted signs for 50 years.... You have earned the right to forget... I think it may well be high time that those around you do the reminding. You paid your dues! It aint the fumes..it's the fact that your birthday was too long ago.. Big cake..lotsa candles

I have found this real good small program called " remind me" go to www.pc-magic.com you can download a 30 day trial version.
You can enter all the info and even state how far in advance it will remind you!
Even Holidays!
Also check out magic folders, it hides certain folders on you computer from others such as employees or other users. It is password protected.
Have fun

My wife uses a program called "Calendar Creator" and enters all the kids games and scheduled appointments and all the birthdays and anniversaries and prints out the calendar every month so we can each write in our activities that need to be entered so we can coordinate our stuff.

I used Lotus Organizer too and then corel suite 8 (draw - version 7) came with a proggie called Barista. I had to call Corel when I purchased it and let them know I wanted it, it got sent right away. I love it, clickable links on the info pages...nice set up. It's especially great for those of you who like the netscape gig.
