I just signed up with Cozi. The demo looked cool. The
toolbar didn't
install perfectly--I'm downloading .NET framework 3.0 and
hope it will
install properly after that.
--update--
The toolbar sync is processing, but I'm not yet seeing the
appointments show
up on Cozi. I have been using Outlook for a couple of years
and somehow I
manage to have 822 Outlook items to sync. Ugh. Lots of
recurring
appointments that I think separated out into individual
daily appointments.
-----------
The Airset also looks pretty neat but perhaps a bit overkill
just for family
use.

Have you looked at Airset (http://www.airset.com) or
Cozi Central (
http://www.cozi.com)? I
don't have any experience with either but from what
I've read they may fit your needs.

Here's a stupid question....is there a digital calendar,
that stands like
those digital frames do, that can receive messages, that is
changes to the
calendar much like a cell phone would receive text messages?
Probably
not...but just wait...someone will invent one to replace
paper wall
calendars.

There are already digital picture frames that allow you
either to
stream or load in memory various pictures. Why not a
calendar?

I think it's a great idea. I've been wondering about how we
could
have cheaper, lower-powered widgets - almost a monochrome
touch screen
panel that I could use in the kitchen for lists, etc.
Calendar is
right there. Wirelessly sync to the real computers in the
house.

Just to echo what Dennis said on this point ...
I used the Lakein system when I found it many years ago. It
is pretty easy
to break down long term goals, into shorter milestones and,
ultimately,
actions. Maybe that would be one thing to discourage some
... it is just so
simple. No electronics required 
So my point is, I guess, is that why should we be distressed
that others
don't cover the goals breakdown. I mean, if Lakein did it,
why should we
demand that everyone else do it as well?
So far as other systems are concerned, once you have your
life goals broken
down to Projects and Actions, GTD and other systems can pick
it up from
there.
FWIW, my system of breakdown has always been:
- Life Goals
- 20 Year Goals
- 10 Year Goals
- 5 Year Goals
- 2 Year Goals
- 1 Year Goals
- Six month Goals/Milestones
- Three month Goals/Milestones
- 1 month Goals/milestones/projects
- 1 week milestones/projects
Obviously, what you call a goal or milestone or project may
be subject for a
fascinating debate, but it really does not matter much. In
the end, there
are only actions and results.
