I need a better way of maintaining a Todo list.  Too many things are getting forgotten or lost. 

Paper lists get left behind, or never checked.  My PalmPilot is great for keeping info, but I never got in the habit of checking it for Todo stuff - I need something that is more in-your-face. 

Way back when, I had a program for my Mac called Remember? which would put up a calendar and reminder when you booted the system.  I could just leave it in the background and use it to keep track of anything.  I'm glad to see it's still around, but it doesn't help me now that I'm using PCs.

I've been googling around, but haven't found anything that quite fits the bill (and on top of that I'm having trouble getting to several sites which may have something useful).

Outlook

MS Outlook has a calendar feature, it's not a todo list so to speak but you can set up and schedule apointments and it will pop reminders up on your screen. I use it at work for tasks that I only do monthly and would forget about it otherwise.

There's also Yahoo's calendar if you use Yahoo Messenger, it will pop alerts up at ya if you the option enabled.

The PalmPilot does a good job for calendar stuff, and you can set an alarm for stuff, so I don't need to remember to look at it.

My todo list really needs to be more free form then calendar based (plus I try and avoid Outlook whenever possible ;) Thanks though!
