No, my stuff is not so sophisticated, but my old lampshade iMac stopped in the 
middle of the night and in the morning it told me I had to restart it ---and 
from then on all my calendars, on all my computers went into all kinds of sync 
problems,  adding them here, deleting them there by the thousands. I halfway 
got them in check, but it is still a mess.  Whatever is going on, it does not 
please me one bit. I have started putting my appointments on a piece of paper.
