@dsri You mentioned you like to hear how people use the Compact Calendar. I use mine as a simple PTO tracker. It helps me avoid burnout and the end-of-year use-it-or-lose-it problem.

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."
