Very interesting topic as it goes further than the mere EntX topics, you're asking about good 'computership'/dealing with information flow, collaborating in the computer age with iTeams/virtual offices/over the net. Right?
Nor Apple's iCal, nor Entx - in my opinion - are meant for collaborating in a team. Both are for personal organisers. If you really are serious about working in teams: Novel-Groupwhise... But that's an investment that must be made by a company. -- Sven-Brussels GSM: +32 (0)485/389679 EntX-OSX.2.3.Jaguar-IBook-500MHz-640MB SDRAM-14GB HD-Airport-AZERTY Keyboard On 2003-02-10 02:07, "zaqq" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > After 13 years of being married to a paper Franklin Planner, and a few > attempts at moving to a digital calendar/reminding system, I visited a > friend this past weekend, and saw him work iCal like a Command Center For > Life.
