Hi Anna, My birthday is April 19, I'd like 4 of the Sonos 1 speakers, please *smile*. OK, I also want an iPhone X 256 Gb, but I didn't want to be unreasonable.
Have a good weekend, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Woody Anna Dresner Sent: Friday, November 17, 2017 12:50 PM To: VIPhone Mailing List <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Differences between the calendar, and reminders Hi, in addition, I should point out that when you set a calendar appointment with the built-in app, you can set two alarms. There's also a nice feature for all-day events like birthdays. I have mine set to tell me about someone's birthday the week before so I have time to get them a present, and then on the day so I remember to get in touch.
