I won't be going to Baltimore since they discovered the following SHARE is in Tampa (the taxpayers would rather spend the money "in state" - even though it probably flows out of here to Marriott/Hyatt/Days Inn/AppleBee's/Chili's etc. HQ).
That said, however - if you're going, be sure to thank HQ for adding improvements to the Personal Itinerary tool (and the other scheduling tools) - there's now an icon for each event in the Personal Itinerary that you click on, and if your calendaring program is set up properly with your browser (the .ics file type AKA MIME type text/calendar is associated to open in your calendar application such as Outlook) you can add the sessions directly to your own calendar. This greatly simplifies, for me, the building of my schedule for SHARE; it also makes it easy to get that schedule into a PDA or phone calendar if you need to. It's not completely perfect, yet, but they've been doing a lot of work on it and deserve some kudos for taking it beyond the "download the complete agenda and then sort through it" stage. <off-topic> All possible because people are starting to pay attention to calendaring standards now, and to improve the interoperability among calendar tools - an effort which began long ago, at you guessed it SHARE. I was once the OfficeVision/MVS (the red-headed stepchild of Profs and SAA) DPM and believe me, calendaring was then, and is now, a critical app for many organizations. Inter-vendor operability still isn't that wonderful, but thanks to the Calendaring & Scheduling Consortium (www.calconnect.org) - founded by some SHARE folk - and others, there are improvements being made. </off-topic> Tim Hare Senior Systems Programmer Florida Department of Transportation (850) 414-4209 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
