Calendars have gone backwards since the Bronze Age. It's time to evolve

I even encounter madness with just one calendar

I am a happy Linux greybeard at my place of work, so I only occasionally start-up my Windows device.

Once I am logged in, Outlook reminds me of meetings that have already occured days ago.

I guess, there was a fruitless discussion on a potential cut-off period: "How long should we remind users of passed meetings?"

Well, I guess they settled on the Salomonic-moronic approach, "Let's remind the users of all past meetings"

This is equally good (we're reminding them) and bad (we're reminding all of them).
