I just convinced my parents to buy a new desktop, and im trying to help them enter the digital age. I looked around and it doesnt look like windows 7 comes with a day planner/calendar program. Or maybe it does and I cant find it. What do you guys run for a cal/planner?

thanks,

Office Outlook. You can configure it to run without email capabilities if their ISP doesn't support it.

As was said, you can use Outlook or Mozilla Sunbird..anything that has support for .ics is good, but I don't think they'll be getting that advanced with it.
