I wanted some way to remind me of upcoming events and tasks each month, and I spend most of the day at the computer. So I went looking for a calendar function which operates like a basic one-month-at-a-time 8x10 calendar that hangs on the refrigerator. I fiddled a little with Windows Calendar, which comes built-in with Vista, but I concluded the learning curve was too high for what I wanted.
I Googled for free calendar software and found Sunbird. It's a Mozilla product, and I like Firefox, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
I like it. It's very easy to learn and use, and it displays things the way I want and allows for one-time setup of recurring events, audibly reminds me of chores, and probably does a million other things I don't care about.
