But let's say I installed a calendaring server on my home system. Then I'd have a "work calendar" and a "home calendar", and the twain would have no way of meeting, whatsoever.
Which would be fine with me as I don't want my personal stuff showing up on my work calendar, and vice versa. (If I installed a calendar server at home, I'd expect to use it for my home calendar.) YMMV.
Because you send someone an appointment or meeting invitation with an email.
But it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. The first time I saw a calendaring product that required you to send the meeting request over e-mail, I was surprised that anybody would want to add that much strain to the mail servers.
To use most anything other than email as the transmission mechanism would presume that you share access to some sort of server with the calendar function.
That's the way we did it 15 years ago at the Big 6 firm I worked at then. We used OnTime, which had a dedicated server.
As much as it hurts to say, both Novell Groupwise and IBM Lotus Notes are far superior groupware applications.
I don't know anyone who agrees with you, at least as far as Notes goes, and I've had this discussion several times...
I agree with him. Notes is superior to Outlook, at least in the implementations I've used them in.
More than what? All e-mail services provide the same things (compose, send, forward, reply, archive, categorize -- whether labels or folders -- , delete), and last time I checked, Yahoo! mail did those things. (In a couple of cases, it's easier to do in Yahoo! than in Gmail.) And Yahoo!'s spam filtering is just fine, thankyewverymuch.

only someone actually very old and out of touch would think a phone today is 'just a phone'
Your opinion, pal. To a whole lot of us, a phone is indeed just a phone.
While I think iPhone is nifty, I'd like it a whole lot better if it didn't have a camera. (Can't have a camera when I go into government buildings.) As always, of course, YMMV.
i'm also sure that when we can only get 64% of the eligible voters to go and vote when it's only once every 2 years
I vote very year, not every two years. Yep, I vote even if it isn't a national election. I believe that old saw about how all politics is local, so I vote for City Council positions, and State Assembly slots, and anything & everything that might be on the ballot.
halfway on the second side of the Judges I gave up and left a bunch blank. I didn't recognize the names and it seemed stupid to just vote based on party affiliation, so I left them blank.
Must be nice to have different judges listed for the different parties -- in my district there were only two (2) names listed, and both names were listed under both the Republican and Democratic parties. (And we were supposed to "vote for any two".)
I get a new cell phone every 2-3 years because my old one no longer works well. I choose my new one based on features, durability, and price.
Not too durable, if you have to get a new one every couple of years because it "no longer works well". I've had my phone (Samsung SPH-N200) for 4 years, and it's still going strong. Does everything I need it to, nothing I don't. I plan to run this phone until it dies.
My condolences on being a Hoboken resident. It's a pathetic small town with delusions of greatness (note that it's only one square mile and had a population in 2000 of only 38,577 but calls itself a "city"). I worked there until recently and hated every minute of it.
1. [Notes] can't seem to recognize an event that has been forwarded to me instead of email directly to me. I have to manually add the event to my calendar.
Yeah, that is kind of annoying. If you can't find the original meeting chairperson to add you to the invite list, that is.
2. It doesn't want to inter-operate with anything, so I have to use the Notes client, or I'll miss all my meetings.
All the managers in my firm sync their Blackberries to Notes, and they show up at their meetings on time. (Unfortunately.)
Notes is all-around annoying. The software that is universally hated by its users
Huh? "Universally hated"? Not in my experience, it isn't. I like it rather a lot. (And no, I'm not a decision-maker at my firm.) Been using it since release 2.1. ('Course, I'd like my firm's implementation of it a lot more if they'd open up the Webmail client for us, but that's not the software's fault.) Don't forget, Notes is more than an e-mail platform.
Yep. Two floors in my firm's corporate HQ are still on tokenring.

look in the upper left hand corner at that fancy google calendar logo. notice anything, like, maybe a little four letter word along the lines of "BETA"?
Yep, I do. I also see nothing in the app itself that is going to make me switch from Yahoo Calendar.
(FWIW, that "Beta" also appears on GMail, y'know. Then again, I'm none too enamored of that either.)

I really have to stop feeding the trolls.
It all started, if memory serves me right, with 1-2-3 using [F9] for CALC. Given that, why would Lotus change a company standard keystroke?
