I downloaded sunbird, Jesse, which is the calendar standalone version. I like that pretty well, but I do wish it had email too.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

There is a sunbird extension for Thunderbird. I have not tried it.

I have a wireless mouse and keyboard. I have changed the batteries on the mouse twice in the past day due to a "critically low" message that keeps popping up on the screen, but I am still getting the message. I have tried resetting the signal to see if that would help, but it didn't. Usual the message just goes away when I change the batteries. Any suggestions?

sj, how far away from the receiver are you keeping and using the mouse? I used to have one of those that I adored, despite its endless appetite for AAs, and I found the batteries lasted longer when I kept the mouse about five inches or less from the receiver. I also found that as the batteries began to die, if I had moved the mouse away from the receiver (which would happen from time to time), moving it back closer would get the warning messages to chill out for a while.
Ultimately, I went back to a corded mouse, just because the money I was spending on the batteries (even buying them in packs of 30 or more) was just too much.

So, um, I don't suppose there's a way to save videos that are on YouTube to my computer, is there?

I moved it closer, and I will see if that helps. If I move it too close, the thing won't work at all, and the diagnostic on my computer is telling me that the battery levels are fine.

Hugs cordless mouse and keyboard closely It's so much easier on my back to be able to move the devices around where I need them, so I won't be giving them up anytime soon. I need to get rechargeable batteries for my digital camera anyway, so that is probably the way I will go with this too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Rechargeables are totally the way to go.
Also, have I mentioned publicly how much I totally love and adore the wireless mouse Jess gave me? Because I do. It completely rocks. It has revolutionized the way I work; it's so easy to use, and the extra features are great. I'm so addicted to the scroll and back and forth buttons. It's so handy to be able to do all of the by mousing, and not by movement or keystrokes. Yay, thanks, Jess!

You're welcome! I never used the extra buttons, for some reason (still don't, even though my current mouse has them too).
