Ah; I guess I agree with that, although adding it might work for those who
feel failed by everything else.

I guess I just meant that a Mac user might be slighly more likely to have
software in this specific category (thanks to iSync and iCal,w hich are

I have a mac laptop and a linux desktop, but I spend far more time with
the desktop. If I spent most of my time with a mac (which isn't likely to
happen any time soon) it's possible that the stuff available there (esp.
now that my phone is supported for bluetooth syncing) would be sufficient.
