I can't think of any way to do that within Entourage. It backs up everything
(except mail), so I don't see any way to omit one another's calendar events,
for instance. The problem is that you want to share some things but not
others. What you need is some way to have both separate and shared
identities.
The only way I can think of would be to make use of the Palm Desktop
software for your calendar events, each with different identities, and to
keep separate Palm Desktop databases for hot syncing. Within Entourage you
would store addresses and memos, and share the identity. You could turn off
calendar syncing in the Entourage conduit to avoid doing extra copying.
I think the best way might be simply to beam information to one another that
you want to share. My partner, Peggy, and I both have Handspring Visors. We
beam addresses and memos to one another frequently. There's no question of
our sharing Entourage because she is a Windows user. Since you can beam an
entire category from the Address Book, you can go through, picking contacts
you want to share, and assign them to a "share" category; then select and
beam that whole group. When you're done, if you actually categorize your
contacts, you would need to reassign proper categories to all those
contacts. But once you've done this with contacts and memos, you'd only have
to do it when you added new ones, which would be relatively easy.
