a technical question
Does anyone know how you can share a calendar between a mac + a pc? Is there a certain program that will do that? Ideally we would like it to be able to sync automatically when either Chris or I add something new. Right now I run iCal between my computers, but Chris is working on a pc.
Suggestions?

I know it's been mentioned a few times already but I thought I'd suggest it, too. Google Calendar might be a good way to go for you.

I might be biased cause I work at Google but I'll vote for Google Calendar too :)

Tell Chris to get a new iMac... Those things look SOOOOO nice!!! Heck, they're even cheaper now!!!!!!
:)
I can't (and won't) give up my iCal... I did use google calendar, but I don't know how it would sync with iCal...
Did you think about using a .mac account? He could access it through there...

you got me thinking, and i stumbled across www.plaxo.com. looks like you can use whatever calendar you are already using and sync up.

I agree with many others. Google calendar is wonderful! Both you and Chris can update it, and you can use different colors for each person's schedule and for different types of events. And it's free!

If you decide to go with outlook, the Mac version e-mail/calendaring program is called entourage. I use it at work as one of the few mac people, and it works for the most part. Entourage does not have all of the calendaring features that your husband would on outlook but it seems to work out ok.

I use missing sync, just like Maria. iCal will sync with your palm too, if you have one.

Big fan of Google's calendar here. You can label different categories by color. It makes it super easy to keep organized. Good luck!

I really like Airset, you can find it online. It syncs with Outlook and Palm desk and I think you can get the calendar sent to your cell phone to. Super easy, too!

I like Airset, too. We've been using it about a month and it's really working well for us. I've even got my oldest using it.

I think your best bet would be Google Calendar. At the hospital where I work, everyone prefers a different computer, but in Google Calendar, everything is saved on the internet, so there is no problem with the different operating systems, plus you can share this calendar with your family, friends, and co-workers. We use it for our family and each one of our 5 kids (We like to color code each one)

What about that program Parallels by apple? I think you can you use that between PCs and Macs? Might be worth looking into.

Google Calendar will let you share . . . but you clearly know that already. Airset.com is another free service that seem popular among fellow parents. The advantage of using an online calendar is you can access it from anywhere! Good luck!

Outlook is called Entourage on a Mac by the way, but they are the same.
