[nabs-l] Homework manager

[Jewel S.]

Hi Greg,
Yes, DaybyDay works with Windows 7. My boyfriend tried it on his
laptop with Windows Vista, then updated his laptop to Windows 7, and
it worked with both. You can always download a trial version onto your
computer from www.blindsoftware.com if you aren't sure if it'll be
what you want and try it for a month. If it's not what you want, just
delete it and go on to something else, and if you want it, purchase
the code and you don't have to re-download the program, just add the
code to the program and it'll be authorized for the full version. The
best feature of the demo version is that it is a full version, just
timed. It won't keep some features out of reach, nor will it delete
the entries you made during the demo if you buy the full version.
Should you try it, then let it lapse, then buy it...when you enter the
code, all the notes, reminders, and contacts that you entered during
the demo will be there. There is even an easy way to copy the files
from the Program Files of your computer to move your calendar's
information to another computer (purchasing the code gives you two
licenses, I think).

I absolutely love DaybyDay and have recommended it to blind and
sighted people alike (yes, it has a visual interface, so it is fully
accessible to the sighted as well as people who use ZoomText or
another magnifying program). My psychology professor had confessed
that she had trouble keeping track on a hardcopy (paper) planner, and
I told her about DaybyDay. She was excited and said she'd try it; she
is fully sighted. So, it really is a great program for a decent price.

Hope you try it,
