RxReminder inches closer to finish

RxReminder is getting closer to its final destiny, which possibly is a big yawn. In the last few weeks I've finished writing the code that calls upon the Task Schedulers (both XP and Vista) which wake the pc from sleep mode so an Alert can be issued. Also, I've tweaked the code to keep the system from going back to sleep until the Alert is closed.

What else have I done lately? Oh yeah ... there was a bush in my back yard, kind of tall and scraggly-looking and with no function other than to serve as an obstacle to vehicles entering or leaving the back yard. I called it George. You know - George the bush. Now, it's gone. Or, mostly gone. There's a 12 inch (30 cm) tall "stump" (more like the top of a rootball) that I still have to deal with.

Speaking of "Gone", whatever happened to Joey Heatherton?
