Gosh, that is very SESQUIPEDALIAN of you to use a word like remuneration.

Somebody who uses long words is a sesquipedalianist, and this style of
writing is sesquipedalianism. The noun sesquipedality means ´lengthiness¡.
If such words are not enough, thereÿs always
hyperpolysyllabicsesquipedalianist for someone who enjoys using really long
words.

We owe this word to the Roman writer Horace, who wrote in his Ars Poetica
(The Art of Poetry): ¡§Proicit ampullas et sesquipedalia verba¡¨ (¡§He throws
aside his paint pots and his words that are a foot and a half long¡¨). It
comes from Latin sesqui¡V, one and a half, plus ped, a foot.

Thanks for the elucidation Roger,

I think I've got it now - if you use a really long word while "putting
your foot in your mouth" - you're a sesquipedalianist. ;)

I love Susan's suggestion also. If I had known about it before I
started using the one i have I probably would have gone that way. I use
http://my.calendars.net and am quite happy with it. All web driven.
Access control if you want it. nothing to install and free.

I am looking for a very simple appointment scheduling program. This will be
used for scheduling a doctors appointments for up to a year in advance.
Network capability would be nice but not necessary.

Thanks in advance,

Dave H.

--- you might try " Calendar " , from http://www.geocities.com/cgopg/
I like it because it doesn't run in the background, just click on it
when you want to see it.... it looks like a wall calendar ....

Thanks Rad but I believe this is a task scheduler and not an appointment
scheduler.

Thanks,

I am sure RICOlmer could be used as an appointment scheduler, but it
is "free for non-commercial use", so I am not sure if it suits your
needs.
