Physical, visible planner - Useful?

[Jamie Elis]

I like to see two or even three months at a time. And always have the current month above (verticallyabove the other two months, not on top of one another). So I rip apart the paper calendar.

The boxes need to big enough. This is a communication device so everyone needs to be able to read it. the month needs to clear and not obscured by the hanging device.

White board is a problem due to people accidentally erasing and they never really wipe clean which is ok for some applications but not this. And, some dingbat in the family always forgets and uses the wrong marker. If a white board is used then clips for the markers, the eraser, etc must on attached to the board (maybe magnetic).

Don't want extra frills that make the thing take up wall space like flower designs and sayings.

Prefer that the size of the monthly page be compatible with photocopy size, even okay to fold it in half to achieve this--making a copy should not turn into an arts and crafts project.

I want the week to start on Sunday.

Would like to be able to enter on computer the known fixed dates like school vacations and birthdays,recycleing pick ups, seasonal chores, print out and then add by hand the day-to -events.
