I am too. The calendar (I'm using Outlook 8.0.1) works fine on my Mac,
albeit poky. Looks like a beefed up version of the old Schedule+. Only
thing I have against it is it seems poky (and its a ram pig, but I have a
slow mac). I'm puzzled by the recent comments about Outlook for Mac's
inability to calendar. (granted, the online documentation stinks).
