The difference between the bubble and the panel

Question

I just experienced another reason why I hate the bubble instead of the drawer/panel, besides the whole data entry thing.
I had the calendar on my smaller 20" monitor on my right - I use my 30" monitor for the nuts and bolts of my work. The calendar was set to fill the screen vertically. I needed to enter something into a date near the bottom of the calendar, so I double-clicked it to edit, and the bubble ran off the bottom of my screen! I had two options - resize the calendar so I could see all of the bubble, or move the bloody thing to my 30" monitor so I could finish my task. With the old iCal, the panel would have just been to the right - no problem. I really miss the old iCal. A lot.

Yah when I tried to add multiple components without sucess I got rather confused here is what I tried...
I was making a non applet or a JFrame whatever you call them, so I made these two variables as class variables
MyOtherComponent me = new MyOtherComponent();
MyComponent mc=new MyComponent();
(I definded the components later on in the class)
I then wanted to display them, I did this in the class constructor which is called by main().
MyComponent one;
MyOtherComponent two;
JButton button;
me.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(40,40));
mc.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(40,40));
me.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400,400));
me.setVisible(true);
mc.setVisible(true);          
content.add(one = new MyComponent(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
content.add(two = new MyOtherComponent(), BorderLayout.WEST);
content.add(button = new JButton("yo"), BorderLayout.EAST);
content.add(button = new JButton("S"), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
content.add(button = new JButton("N"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
I wanted to make a BorderLayout, and have two of my custom components in the layout but every time I try to run this mc is visible (the first component, and me is not visible...
it says me is not visible but i set it to visible clearly in the code, what is the problem..
dukes for this one
