Looks like Google has done a nice job but there are a few things I don't like. For example, the function for adding a reminder to an entry is too deep. First you have to click the entry itself which pops up one of those neat cartoon style dialogue boxes, the same kind we first saw on Google Maps but sadly, without the cool shadow. The dialogue box has a single link labeled "edit event details." I would have put the controls for enabling/disabling a reminder right there beside it, especially since in my case, I wouldn't be bothering to make a calendar entry unless I wanted a reminder.

Once we click on the details the dialog box goes away and the event details fill the calendar window as promised. From there we can change the entry text, date, time, location, or the description. We can even entertain public comments.

But where is that reminder? Still not in sight yet, but wait, what's that? At the bottom right is arrow pointing to the word "Options." I would expect anything under there to let me change colors or fonts or something but let's try it. Wow, there it is, the "Reminder" control along with some event-linked privacy settings. They did a nice job on making setting a reminder a simple selection ranging from 5 minutes up to 1 week in logical increments. I just wish it didn't take 4 clicks (plus one more to "Save") to get it done.

(Well, maybe there is a keyboard shortcut for reminders. No? Not there either? Sorry.)
