It seems like for both you and Jeffrey, it's about setting a specific
time? As opposed to more granularity about # of minutes before an event.
Jeffrey, would you prefer to set the reminder for 6:42? or for 48
minutes before your 7:30 practice?

Hi Ted,
Not to put you in the inquisition chair or anything, but can you
give some examples of events where more flexible reminder options
would be helpful? Or maybe it's not based on the event, but where
you are (ie. If you're at home, you need less time to be warned
before a phone call meeting. If you're in the office at OSAF, you
need more time to move to a conference room, etc).
TED WROTE:
Yes, some of it is based on where I am, or where I have to get to --
factoring in transportation time is one usage. Another usage is
if I have to do something in advance of the meeting - read
something, or otherwise prepare. For my geek book club, I like to
set the reminder several days in advance to remind me to do the
reading. That's more of a task reminder, but it's still an
instance where I'd like more control over the reminder duration.

JEFFREY WROTE:
Here's a common use of specific reminder times for me:
I have choir rehearsal at 7:30 in Oakland. The last reasonable
BART for
me to catch is at 6:55, I want a reminder to fire at 6:42 so I have
enough time to pack up and walk to the station.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
