I moved from YCal to GCal a few years ago, and didn't have any
problems. I definitely had 18 events!

GCal does seem to have a quota, but it's set at 5000 events not 18:

 Is there something I am missing.(about Yahoo closing down services other
 than Briefcase)? Should I start putting in entries on Google now? What a

 before Googol was a number that was asked on a quiz

I don't know what's happening with YCal. You should be able to
transition from YCal to GCal easily, if that's what you want.
