ThoughtPattern 2.0 's calendar interface will allow you to drag over
the time slot that you want to set an event for.  After you've selected
the time slot, a dialog screen appears which allows you to set many
options.  ThoughtPattern 2.0's implementation of this feature is much
easier to use and much, much more powerful than Do It All's feature.
Also, ThoughtPattern 2.0 will offer day, week, month, and year views.

I was recently told by Bananafish Software that the "Special Offer"
that expired at the end of June, which was immensely popular, will
be re-opened due to the heavy interest in it.  This offer will apply
for the month of September.  So, if you missed the deadline before,
either because you didn't know about it or because you only found
out about ThoughtPattern recently, DON'T miss the offer this time!
Below is a copy of the Special Offer included in the thought-pattern.hqx
file that is FTP'able from the info-mac directory at sumex.stanford.edu.
I modified the date so that it reflects the new deadline.  I will also
re-upload the demo so that the file includes the current version of the
Special Offer.

If you have any questions at all about ThoughtPattern 2.0 or the
current version (1.3), please feel free to e-mail me.  I would even
love to hear criticisms, if you've seen the demo and didn't like it,
because most likely I will be able to tell you how ThoughtPattern 2.0
will solve the problem.  As long-time ThoughtPattern user and beta
tester, I am only trying to promote a great product that every Mac
user should at least take a look at.
