Using on-line tools versus traditional methods.

I have been using Google Calendar for a year or two and find it a good way of keeping track of my life. I like the fact that I can add Canadian holidays and Calgary weather to the calendar. Changes are really easy to make and events that repeat only need to be entered once. I tried the Yahoo calendar too but it seems to be less flexible. The Google Calendar will continue to be my favourite of these tools.
I have never used Google documents before but think it has great potential especially since it is free. It makes it possible to access and edit documents etc. anywhere there is a computer available. MS Office may find itself obsolete. Why pay for something available free on Google? If I had known about it last time I bought a computer I wouldn't have paid for MS Word and Excel!
