Precisely, vClendar may not accept expense data DUH! but having xml for
everything else than contacts means we will be better off writing an XML <->
vcalender converter ;) or whatever format ppl like more.
I never went back to school afet my under-grad a couple of years ago, but on
this side of the world this is OK ;)
I have used (in order of extensiveness)
1. Helio's VT-OS PIMs
2. Yahoo Calender / Contacts
3. WinDates
4. Microsoft Outlook
5. KOrganizer
this is a short list so ofcourse I need more vision to avoid any design
mistakes.
