Larry:

Calendars created on both platforms. In fact, I routinely switch back and
forth between my calendar created on My Mac, and through Virtual PC [so I
can synchronize my REX].

My calendar was originally created on a Dell Latitude CP until I got okay to
put my Mac on line. I can see calendars created by all other 170 users here
[all on PCs], and they can all see mine.

As for what I did, heck, I just downloaded SP2, installed it, put in my
Domain name and password, and voila, it was all there.
