-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I know you said you want to avoid it, but I would first recommend Google calendar. Available from anywhere, and has tools to sync with iCal (Mac OSX).
Since Google calendar lacks a proper todo list, RemembertheMilk (http://www.rememberthemilk.com/) fills the gap nicely. Another free web app, and integrates with Google Calendar. Whatever you choose, you want to look for the iCal support to make it work with the OSX side of things. Most have some sort of support. I've tried Lightning/sunbird, but it was horrible. I hear it's had more development recently, but it's nowhere near ready to fill in for Outlook if you're familiar with it. Good luck.
