Chapter 8. Using iCal

iCal, Apple's free calendaring software, is included with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and offers some unique features to .Mac members. Anyone running Mac OS X can use iCal to keep track of calendar events, set alarms for events, and create and manage to-do lists, but .Mac members can also publish their calendars using their .Mac accounts so that anyone with a Web browser can view them. In addition, other Mac OS X users can subscribe to calendars published on .Mac using iCal, so that the subscribed calendars appear inside iCal, next to all their other calendars and can even be automatically updated when changes occur.

In this chapter, I'll show you how to publish your calendars, view your calendars using a Web browser, subscribe to other calendars, and remove calendars.
