OK. I must admit I don't see what use the list view would be to me then
as I'd have to know when I set up a recurring event (ie if I set my
brother's birthday up in 2008, then the first occurrence would be 2008
- but I would never remember that). So the list isn't a 'reminder' of
future events - more a data check list? But even then to verify events
in any month I'd have to go back to day 1 (in my case 2003) and go
through each year to build a picture of a month - is that right? 
Can I ask what people would use the list view for now? That's not meant
as a criticism in anyway, just that I may be missing something that I
hadn't thought of using!

Steve T
