I love and still use InControl by Attain (attain.com). My copy is copyright
1994, but still runs beautifully and simply on my G3/300 with Mac OS 8.6.
Even though I've tried more recent (and more complicated) stuff, I still fall
back to this. Haven't even checked to see if they are still around.

Isn't there a shareware version of Calendar Creator for the Mac? I last
used it about six years ago. I moved up to Now Up-To-Date after being
sold on all the wiz-bang features. Unfortunatly, most of the extra
features caused too many crashes so I use it without turning on the
alarm. Works fine otherwise.

You may not have a need to sync with a Palm Pilot but the calendar it
comes with is simple and easy to use. You get the software when you buy
the Mac adapter which costs about $25.

Another one to look at is DayTimer. I downloaded my copy (under $50)
from the web at:
http://www.daytimer.com

MacWorld ( or ??) did a nice article on calendar programs a few months
back if you happen to have access to the archive versions.

When I have a Novell client installed on my original G3 desktop running OS
8.5.1, it periodically locks up when I select a menu in Microsoft programs.
It's happened today in both Excel 98 and Outlook (Exchange version 8.0). It
hasn't happened in non-MS programs. It can be any menu including the Apple
menu. The mouse freezes when the menu items appear. I don't have to be
logged into the network for it to happen. It doesn't happen all the time and
I can't predict it. Force quitting doesn't work. I have to use cmd-ctrl-pwr
to reboot.

The same thing happened last year when I installed Novell's client. I didn't
have time to run it down back then, so I just haven't connected to the
server (running Netware 4) with this machine. I decided to try the Prosoft
client today and am now seeing the same problem.

Anyone have any ideas before I start turning extensions off?
