I’m trying new things. I’ve been frustrated with my Outlook calendar not syncing properly on two computers with my PDA as the intermediary. Somehow appointments were getting duplicated or put on the wrong day (mostly birthdays and reaccuring appts). Clearly it is wise to have only one calendar. I wanted to put a calendar on my web site so I can make changes anywhere I had internet access. This is where Google rules.

I’ve set up a Google calendar, a task plug-in, and have signed up for GMail. That pretty much wipes out Microsoft Outlook.

The only thing I’ve not done is import my address book into Google. But, I think it’s time to rid myself of the old address book with contacts gone by to never be seen again. I have over 500 contact but only need a fraction of them. So, no importing of the address book. I’m starting over.
