Do you sometimes forget birthdays or important appointments? Don't worry! Now you can get help from your computer. There is a new service on the Internet called online calendar. You start by typing a list of important dates that you want to remember, like the birthdays of your family and friends. Later, you can add other appointments, plans, and reminders to your list. The online calendar will send you an email message to remind you about your mother's birthday or your friend's graduation day. If you don't have time to do shopping, the online calendar lets you order presents (such as flowers or a book) and pay for them by sending your credit card number. The online calendar also makes a list of your appointments and emails it to you every morning. This service is very convenient and easy to use, but it has one big problem. You must remember to check your email every day!
