Hi David,

Kind thanks for your reply. Very accurate observations indeed.

Okay, yes I understand. I only thought it was strange that the server  
can do so much more than my (Apple) client and that I need to change  
calendar app or what now seems an inevitable wait (and BUY Leopard),  
in order to use the server. Any ideas when Leopard may become available?

Is there no way that you can share a (possibly crippled) version of  
this new iCal so we can see it in action? Or maybe you can tell us a  
bit about it (other than what is says here: http://www.apple.com/ 
macosx/leopard/ical.html  which shows an unchanged interface)?

Kind regards,

Alan
