-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- Seize the Day is actually two programs in one. The Daybook is a simple
- to use yet powerful personal daybook and calendar program. With it, you
- can make "to do" lists, and record when each item was completed with the
- click of a button. A full featured calendar allows you to mark important
- dates and set alarms to remind you when you need to do something. For
- periodic events, such as birthdays, anniversaries, or that weekly or
- monthly event you keep forgetting about, you can enter it once and never
- have to worry about it again; Seize the Day will remember it for you.
- The Lists feature makes it simple to keep track of phone numbers,
- addresses, or, with a free-form list, anything else you might need to
- refer to. And the integrated search and lookup features make it easy to
- find whatever you need, whether in a list or somewhere on the calendar.
- The Daybook also allows you to keep a personal journal.
-
- In addition, the Daily Journal greets you every day with a different
- inspiring quote from writers, philosophers, and other sources. Plug-in
- journals are also availible to personalize the Daily Journal to your own
- tastes. The This Day in Time feature gives a list of famous births,
- deaths, and other historical events from that date. The Complimentary
- Edition includes samples of both of these features.
-
- The Gallery is the other side of the program. The highlight of the Gallery
- is the Living Worlds, animated windows into other worlds. Each month, you
- are greeted by a different scene, ranging from mountain lakes to burning
- deserts, crystalline caves, and peaceful forest pools. Not only do the
- scenes change each month, but from minute to minute, each scene changes.
- Every morning, you can watch the sun rise on that month's world, and as
- the day comes to a close, watch the sun set and the stars come out. As the
- day passes, clouds lazily drift by, perhaps bringing a sudden rainstorm
- or snowfall. At night, you might be lucky enough to catch a shooting star
- streaking across the sky, or see the ghosts come out on Halloween. But
- don't despair if you miss anything; the Gallery also has a Time Travel
- feature to allow you to change to whatever date and time you wish to see,
- and each month comes with a list of dates and times for some of the special
- events that fall in that month.
-
- In addition, there are numerous plug-in art modules availible for the
- Enhanced Edition of the Gallery, including paintings from artists such
- as Maxfield Parrish, J. N. Swanson, Boris Vallejo, and Salvadore Dali;
- photographs by Trevor Watson and John Kelly; and examples of native art.
- The Complimentary Edition includes one month's Living World and a sampler
- of images from the other modules.
