The factory installed radio in a 2001 Porsche Boxster is a Becker CDR-220.

To re-program a station pre-set on the Becker CDR-220 you have to hold in the button you want to re-set for 2-4 seconds.  When you press the button initially, the station will change to the existing pre-set.  You have to keep holding the button until you heard an audible beep.  Only then is the pre-set changed to the new station.

In Google Calendar you can "Duplicate" an existing appointment, copying it from one day to another by changing the date in the settings window when it comes up.
