Calendar I use Google calendar. I like it. It’s easy to set up appointments, get reminders and it syncs with my Blackberry. For years I vasciliated between hard copy calendar systems and online ones. I finally just made up my mind to use the benefits of the Blackberry and Google. The hardest part?…
