For example, here is the Electric Secretary application described in our book:

You can dial up any date on the calendar, and then add appointments to the "Appointments" area. These appointments are stored in a file on our web server, so you can exit the page and recall the appointments again later. (We delete the appointments every night, to reduce disk usage!)
