One step closer to an iMac

[yesthattom]

I'm thinking about getting a macintosh laptop. I'm a Unix freak, and I've never had a Mac before, so I'd have to get over all my issues with a 1-button mouse, etc. (yeah, you can buy 3-button mouses but that doesn't make my laptop's surface mouse suddently split into 3).

Today I read on www.apple.com about iCal. It sounds like my dream calendar. Network-centric, multiple views, etc. etc. All the things I've always wanted.

Then I realized that the real power of iCal would be if all my lovers used it too.

Dang. I can't afford to buy a new mac for everyone I sleep with.

Yes, I'm glad to see them using an IETF standard for calendaring. However, it's not the protocol, it's what you do with it.

To make an analogy... Lots of products support IMAP4 for email, but only some have an off-line reader mode (and only some of _them_ do it really well).

What Apple seems to have done on their server is exceptionally cooler than everyone else.
