I have been using Yahoo's calendar for years and I love it. Anything
I need to remember is there permanently. I keep up with doctor's
appointments, flu shots and med refills. I use it for car scheduled
maintenance, and I also use it to log major appliance purchases.

I have asked Yahoo for the following two features more than once, but
it seems to be falling on deaf ears.

Some of my meds of the past were based on a 28 day schedule instead of
30. I can think of a few more things that also use days instead of
months. I wish you could get a reminder for x amount of days instead
of weeks or months.

Another feature I would like to see is the option to attach a scanned
receipt to a day so I would have warrantee information at my
fingertips.

Just thinking out loud. If more people find a need for these
features, more may suggest it to Yahoo.
MS Outlook calendar will handle most schedules, and you aren't dependent
on, nor putting your personal info on someone else's system.
No, but then I am dependent on me to back up the data. A flu shot or
the last time I got a water heater is not exactly CIA kind of stuff.

If you aren't backing up your data, all of your data, then either it
isn't worth anything or you have more serious problems than keeping
track of how old your water heater is.

I use Carbonite (http://www.carbonite.com/). For $50/year, it will
back up all of the data on your PC over the internet to a secure
location. It does it in the background, dynamically. If you
accidentally erase a file, it will restore it in a minute or two, It
keeps multiple versions of files so if you want the version you had
yesterday, you can probably get it. The data is not in your house so
if you get robbed or there is a fire, earthquake, flood, whatever, the
data is safe. It's cheaper, faster, and safer than DVDs or tapes.

There are other online services. You really ought to get one of them.

No thanks on the online backup. I prefer to keep my data where I can see it.
