conflicts” later in this chapter.
You can also schedule events in your Date Book that occur on a
particulardate but have no specific start or end times, such as
birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. These are referred to as
“untimed events.” Untimed events appear at the top of the list of
times,mar ked with a diamond. You can have more than one untimed
eventon a particulardate.
Youcan also schedule a repeating event, such as a weekly meeting,
