[Blindtlk] Organizing your Life: Calendar and Scheduling Apps

[Jessica Reed]

Hi, if you'd like I could give you my telephone number and help you work through the calendar app. It really wouldn't take very long. It's one of the few things I feel very comfortable with with the iPhone.
Merry Christmas!
