iCal continues to disappoint while BusyCal improves. But the missing link for business users is a connection to MS Exchange. Many of us have no choice.

I've been using Fantastical for calendar entry. It connects thru iCal to Exchange.) And I'm considering using BusyCal for its excellent interface ... a sort of read-only window into the parts of my life that are controlled by Exchange. If this works well, I could recommend this to many of my users.

Has anyone tried this ... and discovered problems/issues?

TIA

Curious ...

The latest version requires that Safari be shut down before installing the update. Wondering why that would be necessary.

As I write this comment, with the installer in the background, the "You must close Safari ..." box has begun popping up in front of Safari repeatedly.

Taking a pass for now ...

I've been experimenting with GR for the last day or so, wanting to see how it works. Pros: the "native" 3 pane view, including a view of the web page, easy configuration of first queries, regular updating of queries. Cons: no "activity/progress window" to show that a query is being refreshed, no re-sizing of main window - it's all or nothing, weak query support (though I may be wrong on this, still experimenting.) It's probably worth the price, but it has an unfinished feel, and without some kind of progress window, you have no way to know that its working.

Appears to work well with my MBP running 10.6.2 - 4GB. It can consume a fair amount of RAM - 140 MB or so: less than Safari; more than Mail.

On occasion the lock will activate when I am at the machine and my iphone is on my hip. Moving the phone back to my desktop solves the problem right away.

No rating yet ... too soon to know.

I'm not quite sure I like this ...

It feels like a guilty pleasure. It's a little too much like the Windows Task Bar to feel really "Mac-like," but it does do the job well. Very nice to be able to navigate to individual windows crisply, seeing what's in the window before I land there. I've always use 'Witch" for this kind of navigation in the past. If it had a hot key to move between windows ... more people would use Fantasktik.

After the upgrade Lion. it looks like I have an odd issue with ME:

I'll be replying to a message in Mail or moving a window in finder ... and suddenly the window disappears. Sometimes I find it down at the bottom left of the screen, with only the title bar showing. Other times, it will "walk" to the bottom of the screen on its own ... a "stutter step at a time," while I try in vain to stop it.

In Mail, this tends to happen if I start typing in the reply before the Genie has openened the message all the way. In the Finder, it seems to happen if I move a window too quickly to the edge of a screen or across to my second monitor."

The problem stops as soon as I turn off Menu Everywhere. I've written BB but no response so far.

I have removed WideMail. I like it very much, but it doesn't fit my work habits. But now I've lost the column in individual mailboxes and in the View>Columns menu. Does anyone know how to restore this?

Don't see it ...

Where is Quicklook?

Proteron's site appears to be down ...

It would be great to see an update.
