Jim I use Jorte on phone, Kindle and two laptops (one at home, the 11" as a mobile super tablet); SWMBO, who has phone and desktop, won't upgrade from a paper diary. |

Have you tried signing into your gmail account with the Chrome browser on a PC and bring up the calendar? It looks OK now (I like month-at-a-glance format, which I don't believe was available when I last looked years ago), but I don't want to make stuff -- like my or my friends' birthdays, anniversaries, etc. -- as public as I believe letting google store the information to be. Also I use a program Outlook4Gmail to sync the two calendars. I use Jorte on phone, Kindle and two laptops (one at home, the 11" as a mobile super tablet); SWMBO, who has phone and desktop, won't upgrade from a paper diary. It's easier to write stuff on paper and then type it on a REAL keyboard when I get home than it is to use a virtual keyboard. -- Cheers, Bev "If you see me running, try to keep up." ...Back of bomb technician's shirt |
