Richard, Dave,

Couldja do me a quick, >5 minute favor? If you've got a gmail account, 
use your Treo to log in Google Calendar and see if it works? I've read 
varying accounts (mytreo.net, for example) on whether Blazer will render 
google calendar at all. We can get it to sort of show up on a Mobile Web 
2.0 (Verizon Product) but it's highly limited.

I understand that it won't be like viewing on a 19" flat screen <g>, but 
for reference and look up purposes, it should be usable. There's even a 
'quick add' feature in google cal that allows you to type something like

   dinner w/ wife tomorrow 7 pm

and it will translate this into the correct entry. Pretty nice, actually.

But the Verizon folks are clueless (BIG surprise) and the research on 
the Web conflicts. I don't want to commit to $45/mo only to find out 
that GCal is still a work in progress. :) And I don't want to write my 
own web-based calendar app either. :( Well, I'd like to write it. I 
don't want to support it. <BG>

Ken: We've been playing around with using multiple calendars and it 
looks like this might be a workable (although not optimal) solution 
right now.

Essentially, each family member has their own calendar, and then you all 
share your calendars with each other. Then when you look at your 
calendar, you can see other folks events in different colors, but all on 
the same calendar.

We've found one glitch with the google cal and SMS, but this feature is 
SO limited (you can only get your own calendar's events, even if you're 
sharing other people's cals, and you can only get the next 24 hrs of 
events) that we're not even going to do any more investigation on it.

I have not looked at printing, because I'm a New Age, High Tech kind of 
guy. Me and my IBM 3270 phone, that is.

Whil
