Thanks, guys, for the help. (BTW, I had deleted my old calendar files
from the calendar folder already, via a search for "ics," backing them
up to a zip archive before deleting.)
I never DID figure out where the information & garbage that kept
filling the calendar kept coming back from - but I tried resetting my
local Mac from .Mac (.Mac pref pane, advanced, only calendar) and
after complaining 3x that there was some inconsistency on .Mac, the
fourth try seems to have worked. I wasn't sure at first - all the
extra blank calendars still appeared, but at the bottom of the list
were my calendars, and when I clicked on one of the blank calendars
(to try to delete it), iCal DIDN'T CRASH! Yippee!!
I have NO IDEA what ever went wrong, or why it decided to fix itself,
but can only hope it doesn't happen again.
I think I will back up very soon now.
(Besides, an elderly lady whose iMac I maintain - an 350 iMac that
chugs along admirably - had her HD die a noisy death today when I
stopped by to see about the clunking noises she reported! Of course I
could think of nothing it could be *except* the HD, and planned to
back it up first thing, then run diagnostics. But upon sensing my
arrival, apparently, the HD committed final suicide. I feel guilty
not getting down there when she first reported the clunking 2 weeks
ago, and there was the chance of saving the data, but I just didn't
have the time. No backups!! Thank goodness she didn't really have any
important files; she's the kind of user who really just reads & then
deletes email.)

Anne,
I too have many friends and clients that I help with their Macs and
PC's and all of my friends and clients have been taught and encouraged
by me to use backup methods like Zip and Jaz drives etc. Even for
those who simply read and delete it helps with sanity both on my part
and theirs.
