a technical question

Ali - My daughter works for Apple and she also suggests using .Mac as someone earlier did. She's a mac and I'm pc and she manages to get it to work!

Google Calendar syncs with your Mac calendar using http://www.spanningsync.com/. I just set this up for our family this week for the exact same reason you posted. Both my husband and I access Google Calendar at work (and he on his home Windows machine also) and we can add/change appointments etc and everything we do to it is synced (sunc?) with iCal on the Mac by the time we get home. Love love LOVE it :) It costs $25 for a year or $65 for lifetime license...well worth it!

I really like the calendar site www.30boxes.com. I run Mac, too. I like 30boxes even more than iCal. It's free and has a lot of options for sharing and linking.

When I was using my Palm Treo, I was able to sync between the Apple and PC using the iSync. It's already on your Apple so maybe that will work. I've only had the Mac for a couple of months though so I'm not sure if it will work. It's worth a try though.

google calender! another vote. My old job used it all the time so that people could check vacation availability.
Don't forget you can also share spreadsheets and word documents in google too, and you can even collaborate together.
The thing is-- everyone has to have a Gmail account.

Google calendar is your best shot!

It is awesome what it does! :)
Good luck,

iCAL !!!

Hey Ali, You could publish your iCal calendar, but I don't think Chris could add to it. One way might be to set up one of the Groups on .Mac. I think everyone can add to a calendar on those.
Chris should just get a mac!!!

We use Entourage. There is no compatibility problem with Outlook. Entourage is from Microsoft too and work perfect on Mac! It´s perfect to syncronize tthe calendar with PCs, handhelds, mobile phones or any Mac

Try the calendar on yahoo.com . You can invite another person to be able to see your calendar. Your appointments are then shown in a different colour on the other person's calendar.

Google's calendar program all the way. Plus you can share spreadsheets (budgets), etc.

I work at the University of Miami, our Dean is huge on Mac's, and some of our Scientists prefer PC, we use a calendar system call Now Up To Date, I love it. Whoever owns the programs logs in and can see all the other calendars (seminar rooms, class rooms, conference rooms, who is in town). It can be password protected too.
Best,
Sidney

we use google calender, it really works great for us

Hi Ali-
I don't really know how much it costs, but my dad has a Mac and he runs something called Virtual PC on it. Maybe that would allow sharing?

In agreement with some other comments, I would highly, highly recommend Google calendar. My boyfriend is in NZ, and has multiple computers - Macs, Linux and Windows, and we share our calendars via Google, he is able to access both of our calendars on any of his computers.
You can customize it so that you both share a single calendar, or you can each have a calendar, and you can change the colors to define them on your screen. Plus you can add other calendars - for instance, the US Holiday calendar, and it will add the holidays to your view too.
There are so many options, it's amazing. My favorite option is the SMS reminder feature. Google sends me text messages (NONE unsolicited though) to remind me of events. When you create an entry, you can choose the type of reminders you want - SMS (text message), email, or popup. (Popup only works if you have Google calendar open in an internet window at the time of the reminder though)
I also just found a new program yesterday, after looking for months, that allows me to sync my Google calendar with various programs on my PC. Which then allows me to sync with my Palm pilot. It's freakin' awesome, I'm so excited. (I know I know, quite the geek.)
Anywho, if you have questions I will try to answer them. I'm not a Google expert but I do love the calendar. Next to my Gmail, it is the Google service I use most. Plus, you can't beat the cost - FREE! ;)

Get an iPhone. ;-P

Get an iPhone. ;-P

Maybe too late but... Google Calendar is the Best :)

I vote for Google Calendar as well. My husband travels and he can change the calendar from everywhere. Also if you don't have access to your personal computer, you can get to Google Calendar from any computer, like at a hotel, or a library, or even Simon's school. I do that all the time, find out about an activity while I am at the girl's school, then just use the office computer to plug it into the calendar before I forget it.
