I'm going to trust the excellent recommendations of you guys again-

Is there a really good planner and calendar software that anyone uses that will alert you with a little note on your desktop of important events? Maybe something that has a quicklink to an address book or weekly planner?

I know that outlook pro does that, but I don't want to drop the coin on office when my "special" version of Word XP is fine.

There's a bunch of shareware I've found but I hate weeding through that crap for something good.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance-

Well, I've been using that thing for about 6 hours now. I have to honestly say it is one of the most interesting and usefull software I have tried. I forget a lot.
So I start writing things down, but when I write it down, I either lose the paper, or I forget to read it. I bought a palm pilot, but that was a pain in the arse. Batteries needed charging every day. It was too bulky, and I didn't need extra technology to carry around with me. This is a great piece. Very usefull. I am at my computer at least twice a day. Once in the morning to check messages, and once at night to do some real "surfing." So this is just perfect for me.

This is the best skin I've found for it so far.
