     talking to you.  Your wife just called and said you forgot her
      birthday yesterday.  Major Blunder, report to the doghouse!!

REMIND U-MAIL at http://calendar.stwing.upenn.edu

...is a free on-line calendar. Yup, you can actually enter all your appointments on a personalized monthly calendar, right on the Web!

Your calendar is never more than a few clicks away if you keep it online with Remind U-Mail. Just pop in with your web browser and you can view, update or modify your calendar.

No more little black book. No more forgetting where you put that little black book. Just bookmark your digital Web-Calendar and it's accessible whether you're at home or on the road. You can even share a calendar with family, friends, or co-workers.

"Wow, that's pretty cool. It doesn't get any better than this!"

Bzzzt, wrong answer. That's only half of the coolness. A free e-mail reminder sevice makes Remind U-Mail even better by sending you e-mail messages on or before the scheduled events.

This little electronic poke in the ribs can be set up as a one-time event or an annual reminder for birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

How Does It Work?

Step 1: Visit REMIND U-MAIL at http://calendar.stwing.upenn.edu
Step 2: Click on the "Sign Me Up!" link, then enter your name, e-mail address and time zone on the form.
Step 3: Check your e-mail for your REMIND U-MAIL username & password.
Step 4: Back at the main page, click "Members", then enter your username and password to access your calendar.

Come back often to update or consult your calendar, because the system will automatically delete any calendars that have not been accessed for two weeks.

What Do I Need To Use the Web-Calendar?

1) A valid e-mail address

2) A tables-capable browser (Netscape, Internet Explorer, Mosaic, and AOL's Version 3 software will all work fine.)

Sorry, there's no apparent way to create or manage your calendar using only e-mail.

Is It Really Free?

Yep, totally free. The author, Blake David Mills IV is a student at the University of Pennsylvania who says: "This is a free service I'm working on in my spare time. I originally wrote it for my own personal use, but decided others might find it useful as well." What a guy!
