Note: The reminder dates are stored in Month/Day/Year format. 
&&Explain

When you select the date and time from the drop down calendar and time setting box, the date will be cconverted to MM/DD/YY format when it is put in the reminder list.
This is done so the program has a consistent format for date checks.

Here's a tip for advanced users:
 The reminders are stored in a file named "reminders.lst" in your CyberBuddy Folder.
 If you want to backup your reminders, or copy them to another CyberBuddy, you can copy this file.
