I'm guessing that their products have pretty much been duplicated by the software that comes free with OSX. Thinking.gif

But I'll bet he could get some good money for the domain name.  yes.gif

whistling.gif Probably lots of little things and too many big ones! It's pretty hard to compete with free, of course. But it may also be hard to differentiate your product and convince people it solves a problem they might not even know they have. laugh.gif Add to that a complete rewrite of the code and finding competent coders... dntknw.gif

Why let the project go to waste? They should make it open source and let some bedroom geeks play around with the code.

For Mac, it's pretty hard to make a calendar program that can compete with iCal. I'm not familiar with NOW's software but iCal works the best for me with its sharing and syncing to .mac and new compatibility with Google Calendar. Why would anyone want to use anything else??

(and then you have the watered-down outlook for mac... entourage... for exchange server users and "Pre-10.x "old timers that fear change)
