Softwrights Reminder... Benefits
- Extremely useful, practical, and
straightforward ... A quick glance at the upcoming
events list shows you everything you need to know ... Without having to
flip page after page of calendars as in most programs.
- Extremely focused ... No featuritis ...
This program does one thing (reminds you) and does it well ... You won't
get confused by a sea of menus and useless (to most people) features.
- Extremely easy to learn ... Screens are
self-explanatory.
- Extremely easy to use ... Input is a breeze ...
Several cumbersome tasks are performed by the program automatically
... Expired events are removed automatically ... The current time is
updated continuously (every second)... If the date changes, newly
expired events are removed and events list & prompts are updated too
... Without having to restart the program to update the date like other
products require.
- Extremely fast ... Downloads fast, installs fast,
starts fast, runs fast (you'll rarely wait for annoying hourglass
icons to disappear), exits fast ... Thanks to Softwrights' superior
software engineering.
- Extremely compact ... Squeezes comfortably onto
your hard disk ... Thanks again to Softwrights' superior software
engineering.
The design of the program was driven by the following assumptions:
- Most people have a need for quick, handy reminders
of upcoming events ... You need to know when your
niece's birthday is ... not see her life history in a reminder program.
- Most people have better things to do than learn how
to use a complicated program ... That's why useless (for most) features
and complicated commands were not included ... But
useful features and simple commands were included.
- Most people prefer a quick overview of upcoming
events ... That's why a list-based interface was used instead of
multi-page calendars filled with fluff and blank spaces.
- Most people prefer quick, easy input instead of
cumbersome database-like commands and entries ... There are plenty of
other products (like Personal Information Managers, Contact managers,
Calendars, etc.) for those who need more sophisticated data manipulation
features.
- Most people need no more than (probably much less
than) 100 non-holiday events to be stored for reminders at any given
time.
- Maximum Scheduled Other (Non-Holiday) Events: 100
... A prompt appears if you try to schedule more than 100 ... This
provides more than enough reminders for most users and allows the entire
database to reside in RAM ... Including up to 28 holidays and the 20
most-recent expired events (a total of 148 events).
- Events can't be scheduled more than a year in
advance ... Eliminates the need to enter a YEAR ... The program
automatically sets the year to the current year if a given month/day
occurs (in the present or future) during the current year ... Otherwise,
the year is automatically set to the next year.
- Maximum Scheduled Holidays: 28 ... All holidays on
Add/Delete Holidays screen can be scheduled.
- Maximum Expired Events Saved: 20 ... Just in case
you need to review an expired event ... Choose Recent Expired
Events from the VIEW option to see the last-20 expired events.
- Last date program can be used: December 31, 2019
... Program's automatically-adjusting custom-made holiday calendar
doesn't go beyond 2020 ... Update-program prompt appears on/after this
date.
