Problem with the birthday app (for me, anyway) is that it only appears to give reminders when you log in, which I rarely do. I usually leave my computer running until there's a power outage or I move: $ uptime 14:34:32 up 164 days, 2:48, 5 users, load average: 0.29, 0.44, 0.43 XFree was also running most of that time, except when I switched to Gnome from Enlightenment :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
