[Hidden-tech] Electronic calendar

[Computercoach]

Syncing is not a bad idea.  Your smart phone can sync to the internet
anytime and your PC can sync when ever you need.  I also like one calendar.
The reasons I have 3 copies is that I have to be able to look at and up date
my calendar when I am at different locations. Since my phone connects to the
internet I sync after any change. The reason I sync  to the internet is
because I am paranoid about my phone dying or being stolen.  All of my
business contacts and appointments are there.  (Yes I use password and other
precautions.)  I sync my PC (Outlook) to the internet in case my phone or
computer can't connect.  When it comes to my business security I am a belt
and suspenders kind of guy.  I use Plaxo which has mobile app/sync,
interface to Google and other colanders and will sync to outlook (XP and
beyond).  Hope this helps.

After all these years of holding on to a paper calendar, my new smart phone
is making me think it's time to get into the 21st century.

 

The phone is a droid. The question is, if I take the plunge do I use the
phone's calendar? Google calendar? Outlook calendar and synch? A calendar
app? Something else?

 

Some background: 

 

One calendar and one only is a rule I live by.

 

I like to see a week or two at a time w. all my appointments shown. I'm used
to a month at a time, but in reality I don't care what happened three weeks
ago, except as a record.

 

I think I'll want to print out past months for a record.

 

I don't think I want to synch because I'm sure I'll be dashing out of the
house and realize I haven't synched and won't have time.

 

Typing on the phone isn't all that easy, but you knew that.

 

As ever, thanks for your wisdom and generosity.
