Out of the box, Windows can connect to the Internet, defrag your hard drive, and play a mean game of Minesweeper. But it doesn't come with a decent calendar. The free Calendar 2000 attempts to fill that gap. It isn't exactly what we'd call a scheduling application, but it sits in the system tray and lets you create recurring monthly and annual events. It shows standard holidays on their respective dates, and you can add and delete them as you like. The interface is relatively dull, but on the plus side you can set the time for four cities and specify map coordinates for a remarkable graphic display of the current moon and sun position. Unfortunately, the program doesn't support event alarms. That's a serious omission, but if you can get around it, you'll find that in other respects Calendar 2000 fares pretty well.
Simple to use along with a choice of landscape or portrait. Same size as a regular calendar so there is plenty of room to write in the spaces as needed.
Cons
Nothing to dislike about this calendar program. I searched for it to install on my laptop. I have used it for several years on my pc.

Pros
easy acess to a calendar that sits on your desktop. I don't have to search for a calendar when I need one.
Cons
You can only put in reoccurring monthly events
Summary
I like it for the simple use of a calendar, but it would be great to be able to put in single events in different months
Nice and simple

Pros
Set-up is easy. Clean and simple.
Cons
one that is an issue.
Summary
Calendar 2000 provides a simple, easily accessible, calendar. Interface is clear and easy to use. Note. be sure to check all the tabs during the initial set-up. This insures your configuration from the beginning. They can be changed later.
Just what I was looking for!

Pros
Easy to add annual events & major holidays are already there! Groovy sun/moon graphic w/ a world map showing where the sun & moon are, literally, & moon phase! Also where in the world there is daylight and where it is night. Excellente!
Cons
No offense, it looks like the calendar was made using an MSWord template. It would be über-cool if it had a more slick look like, for example only, the Vista desktop clock/calender. It's an overly simplistic interface for such a nice application.
Summary
I'm an Outlook Overachiever [tm] and was looking for a simple moon phase calendar for my desktop. This works really well for me, I love that world graphic function - it's not overly crowded with information - it's simple, which is good, because my Outlook is crowded with project work and stuff to do I don't, want that on my desktop!! And for me, in particular, I like that *I can decide* which cities for the timezone thingy...it will replace the system tray app that I have right now with 3 timezone cities... Thanks!
...if I could do GUI I'd offer a hand out but unfortunately I don't have a clue how to make interfaces look slick...
Ok, but cant delete it from my PC!

Pros
Its handy and does its job, but its not very attractive.
Cons
Tried deleting it by the usual way, ie. control panel and add or remove, but the uninstall wizard tells me to close it first when its not open and wont do the uninstall.
Help please!!

Pros
Very Fast way to write remainders of dates
Cons
The size (about 600 pix) is not enough for vision impaired (me) Gimme at least 800 pixels then it'd be PERFECT. Hope speed is not an issue to pixel width
