I have problems with my planner all the time. Alarms work for a
while (I also use my mPower as an alarm clock) but then they will
stop for days to weeks at a time. I have no idea what is going
on, but this has happened ever since 6.11 on my classic.

Subject: [Braillenote] planner and daylight savings time
First, thanks much to Rhonda for reminding us what to do with our
BN for the
daylight savings time. For, well, seeing as the computer
automatically
changed the time, I was figuring that the BN would do so as well.
And, of
course that wasn't the case, although it was no problem to go
into the
utilities menu and take care of things.
But, on the VNBT running 6.11, the one that work purchased for me
so I won't
use it for email or internet or anything; but, the planner didn't
seem to
work for me this morning. Now, as some of you know from my
messages to the
list, I was up kind of late last night, but I don't think I would
have slept
through the alarm going off every five minutes.
Actually, and I do kind of like this, I use the VN for a backup
alarm to get
me up on weekdays, and as the exclusive alarm to wake me up on
the weekends,
so I won't sleep all that time off from work away. And, it is
quite a nice
feature to be able to set the alarm for different times during
the week, and
then on the weekend, thus I have my alarm set to go off three
hours later on
Saturday and Sunday. But, it didn't seem to go off this morning,
although
it did tell me that I had missed an alarm when I went into the
planner.
Now, I'm in Indiana, and we just started observing daylight
savings time
again this year, or at least most of the state just started this
again,
anyway. So, I had changed my time zone from the Indiana one to
the one for
the US and Canada over a week ago and my alarm still went off
just fine.
But, when I changed the setting to show I was now in daylight
savings time,
then the alarm didn't seem to work this morning.
Fortunately, I don't have many regular alarms set on the VN, as I
usually
just set and delete them real close to the time I actually need
them, so I
just reset
the ones I did have. And, for that matter, I did a repair of my
mPower and
PK
planners, just in case. But, I was wondering if anyone else had
problems
with their planner after the time change?
