I was more interested in just a large clock on the desktop with an alarm. The iCal complaint was not really a crie de coeur like the OnrNote thing is... <BR/><BR/>Then I got carried away with the other weak Dashboard stuff while I was in the whingeing mood. I'm pretty much vented now. Till next time... - fuck, now the navigation toolbar has vanished from Firefox and clicking on View-Toolbars-NavigationToolbar doesn't bring it back...
