Chapter 13. iCal


iCal is a personal calendar, an organizer, and a scheduler built around the idea that you need more than one calendar to manage the different aspects of your life. You can create as many specialized calendars as you want: one for work, one for family, another for school, etc. You can choose to display just one calendar at a time, all calendars, or any selection of calendars.

Use iCal's To Do list to prioritize and manage your busy day, week, or month. Add an event, such as a party, to iCal and let iCal email invitations to selected people in your Address Book. iCal can notify you of upcoming events and appointments with an alarm sound, email alert, or display a notification. And iCal's search feature let you easily find any event or To Do item that you've added to your calendar.

If you travel a lot you'll like iCal's time zone features that let you set everything to another time zone, or just specific events.

You can even publish your own calendar online so you (or friends, family, or coworkers) can check it from any computer, anywhere in the world. The number of calendars you create is limited only by the amount of free disk space on your computer. All sorts of iCal calendars are available online that you can subscribe tomany organizations, bands, and entertainment companies are posting iCalendars on their web sites.

iCal does all this and more with style and simplicity. Your Mac even makes it fun to be organized!
