      So do I and chose the day and month at random, then get confused when I get birthday related messages on random dates. On the upside I can dine for free at least once a month on my 'birthday' at different restaurants.

      I generally pick Jan 1st - partly because it's Herself's birthday so easy to remember, partly because I don't have to scroll at all! :laugh:

        Replace the scroll bar with "Left" and "Right" buttons that don't autorepeat. :-D

                Hmm. No, I'm serious: hmm. Have the user hum, sample the microphone sound input, divvy the frequency range from 80 to 3,400 Hz into 1010-1 intervals, and voila! Easy-peasy. Best of all, this approach doesn't use any screen real estate.

                  It's a PITA, isn't it? You have to be imaginative for Xmas presents, and then again a week later ... :sigh:

                      Train them early, forget for the first 5 years in a row and they start doing all the work for you. I have not bought a present (nor received one) in decades, she buys the presents for the kids and threatens me with the job if I dare complain. We are however going out to a restaurant of her choice tonight though, at her prompting.

                            I'm with you on this. She just buys her own present. I'm fed up with the number of times presents bought in the past seem to have disappeared on day 3.
