I started up iCal the other day to see what it's like and noticed that its calendar sidebar appears to be very similar to Chandler's sidebar: multiple calendars (collections) can be overlaid on the screen, but only one is "selected" and new events go into it by default. I haven't used iCal enough to completely test this, but are there any significant differences from Chandler's sidebar? I'm asking because iCal uses checkboxes for choosing overlays and a highlight for the active selection.
