Even free, iCal isn't worth the price
by Volker Weber
Apple's newly released iCal is the most beautiful calendaring program I have ever seen. It's a shame it sucks.
I don't use those words loosely; iCal is rife with bugs, display glitches and mind-boggling interface oversights. Just hours after its release, reports are flooding in over printing issues, constant crashes, import SNAFUs and other assorted problems more usually found in early beta -- even alpha -- versions of software. The fact that Apple allowed iCal to be released in its current state is nothing short of astounding.
