Thanks for the overwhelming response as usual.
The two calendar programs mentioned were:
Smart Alarms from Jam Sofware
Alarming Events from CE Software
There was a review of them in a MacWeek a few months ago.
I personally bought Smart Alarms a long time ago, but I haven't upgraded
yet because I want to see Alarming Events first.
According to the review, they were very similar in features and where
one was good, the other one wasn't. I am not familiar enough with
the features to discuss them here so I won't.
As far as To Do lists, most people mentioned a shareware product called
To Do! The current version of it is 3.0. It has been sent to
comp.binberries.mac and will appear there whenever the queue catches up
to it. It is also available on America Online and other big and small BBS's.
I tried To Do! 3.0 and think it is well worth the $15. It is a big
improvement over To Do! 2.0, which I also managed to find.
To Do allows multiple lists and annotations on any item in the lists.
The items may be assigned a priority, and when the task is completed,
you may check it off and/or delete it from the list.
Several people made their own Hypercard To Do lists which features the
ability to do whatever the user wants.
There was also a posting about MyTimeManager. I haven't looked for it
in MacLeek yet, so I can't give any details.
Thanks again for all your help.

I suggest that you also take a look at Remember?, a Personal Reminder System, distributed as Shareware. Version 1.3 has been available through the Stanford archives (info-mac@sumex-aim.stanford.edu) for quite sometime now and I just submitted version 2.00rm (the author of Remember?, David Warker, does not have access to this network).
