Unfortunately due to several changes in iCal the BirthdayScannerX do not work correct under Lion any longer. Yes it is possible to export appointments indirectly but I was not able to keep these incredible formats and reminders.
Dear Thomas, please update your program!
Ich würde sogar gerne dafür etwas zu zahlen.

First-time usage was flawless, operating without iCal or Address Book running. Event template is handy and the symbols are a nice touch. Conveniently supports up to three alarms. Haven't tried updating any existing entries but may never want to.
Even if BSX could have other features nothing obvious is overlooked for my purposes. Fully satisfied with it as-is since it did/does everything I want, plus a bit more. Definitely deserves a donation when I have the budget. Well done!
Updating events should also not be a problem, should you ever want to do it. The program takes great care to update correctly.

I was surprised that MacUpdate had updated the product page, because I had not submitted the information about the new version yet. I guess they got it somehow from CNet. I will update the product page.
To answer your question:
The BirthdayScanner X does:
- add up to 3 customized Alarms to the Birthday Event
- also creates iCal Events for other Dates, like Anniversaries
- the resulting Calendar is a normal calendar, not write protected, so you can modify it to your hearts content
- the Events show the Age of the person
- Finally, you can also just export an ICS file, that way you can import your Address Book birthdays into any other calendar apps, even if not on Mac.
Cheers, Thomas
