What reviewers say about Birthdays and Such... "I'll get this out of the way right from the start: Birthdays And Such... is the most nearly perfect Macintosh program ever written. Ever. It's small, only 17K, unobtrusive and runs on almost every Mac ever made. It could save your marriage, bring peace to your family, or even save your job. If you are the forgetful type, you must get this program. Set it up with important dates, sit back, and be the envy of all your family and friends. Imagine never again forgetting a birthday, anniversary, doctor's appointment, or job interview!... "...There are plenty of reminder programs out there, but none so simple, effective and useful." --Edward Goss, "About this Stuff", About this Particular Macintosh e-zine, October 1998 "You'll be reminded of birthdays and other important events each time you boot up. Worth its weight in happy spouses, friends and associates." --Noah Matthews, "Shareware", Knight-Ridder Newspapers, San Jose Mercury News, August 4, 1996 "Ever forget one of those big days, like a birthday or anniversary, because your reminders were scattered among a variety of calendars, notebooks, and paper scraps? Or been surprised to learn that an important day is at the beginning of the month when you flip the calendar page? Birthdays and Such to the rescue!... "...The combined simplicity and usefulness of Birthdays and Such make it a must-have for any Mac user. It runs on almost every Mac ever made (except the 128 and 512) and System 6.0.8 or greater, so you have no excuse not to keep your important dates in order." --John F. Braun, "Monday's Mac Gadget", The Mac Observer, Monday, March 22nd, 1999 "Birthdays and Such is an application meant to be launched on daily startup, to remind you of the important birthdays and anniversaries in your life." -- "Delphi Internet Shareware Pick of the Week", May 1997 "This month I'm only writing about one program. It's called "Birthdays & Such". I find myself getting more forgetful as the years go by. This program has taken a lot of pressure to remember things off my head completely. Every morning when I turn my computer on a window comes up with my reminders staring at me. It's very easy to use... You can put anything you want in it - birthdays, bill payment due dates, doctor & lab appointments, etc. The possibilities are endless & the great thing is that you just add items as you go..." --Toni Nowak, ed., Wes Pas Mac computer club newsletter, New Port Richey, FL What users say about Birthdays and Such... Birthdays and Such has been registered by users around the globe, from Australia and Japan to France and Holland. With their registrations, they've shared comments like the following... "Thanks for your program. It works like a charm." "I ran across your "Birthdays and Such" reminder program out on the internet. I had been looking for something like that, and I really like it. This is the first time I have ever kept, used, and paid for a shareware program." "Its 'worth' is essentially immeasurable. Thanks so much for the ShareWare!" "I keep an alias of the Reminders file in my Apple menu so I can edit it often. I use the program not only for recurring dates like birthdays, but also for general reminders such as bills. I find the whole concept of storing the reminders in a text file to be quite elegant and easy to deal with. Nice job. I also appreciate the absurdly small RAM footprint. If only the folks at Redmond were so thoughtful." "Finally! a Reminder that runs in 55K anddoesn't lock up my Mac. I love it!" "A few months ago I downloaded a half dozen or more reminders programs from the MUT library on AOL. Yours (Birthdays&Such) was one of the few that didn't give me more trouble than aid." "Love your program. Great program! Lifesaver (or wifesaver, at the very least)." "You have made very many people happier on their birthdays since developing your program because now their birthdays are being remembered more often. Thank you so much for creating Birthdays and Such and for adding more happiness to the lives of so many people. (By the way, we "loved" the gentle humor evidenced in the way you wrote up your manuals.)" "I have used Birthdays for about 3 weeks. I decided to keep it on Thursday when I turned my Mac on at 9:35am and it reminded me that my husband had a 10:15am eye doctor appointment. We made it!! You created a goody. Congratulations!" "I love Birthdays and Such. I feel so much more organized!" "Thanks for Birthdays and Such...! I use it daily, and it really does help me keep up with all of my friends and family." "Birthdays and such is GREAT!!" "Birthdays & Such... seems to be a program that will make life a little less hectic for me. I will be sharing it with our "new" local Mac Users Group next week... Thanks for the fantastic utility!" "Thanks! Neat little program." "I forget how I came across your reminder application, but in just a few weeks I have grown to really appreciate your work. As a father, grandfather, and caregiver to my father there are too many special dates to be remembered and acknowledged. Clean & simple, thanks." "Birthdays and Such is a great program. It is making me the best father of all. I haven't forgotten an important date since." "I am elated -- I've just found "Birthdays and Such..." software on an old CD-ROM. It's the business! It is exactly the kind of programme I would write myself if I knew how. Thanks." "Gone is my excuse of forgetfulness." "I am enjoying your Birthdays and Such... I did not know I needed something like this until I tried it for a few days. You thought of everything." "Super app --- Saved my bacon on numerous occasions!!!!!" "I have been using it for a month and I find it is just what I was looking for. The User's Guide is very complete and thorough. It should be the standard for all software users manuals." "The program works pretty slick and I had no problems setting up the reminders." "My family & friends are amazed - I have a reputation for NEVER remembering birthdays. But being reminded every day for 5 days beforehand means I've made the card, bought the present & posted it all in time. Thank you!" "Writing to a friend, I told her: 'Sounds like you would find Birthdays and Such to be useful. It keeps track of all sorts of dates and you can have it remind you as many days ahead as you want.'" "Don't know how we ever got along without it." "Birthdays and Such is the thing I'll miss the most about giving up our Mac." Share your comments about Birthdays and Such...
