WINTERSMITH  The product itself works well. It fills a puzzling feature gap in iCal, and gets the job done.

However.

The price is nuts. More politely put, it's both deceptive and out of touch. First, it's not actually $25—it's $50, and that's if you're content to sync calendars on a measly TWO machines. I think 3 or 4 machines combined at home and work is pretty average for users most likely to be interested in this utility, but that takes the price up to $75–$100. And no, there's no discount until the 5-licenses mark. 10% off if you spend $125 to $225 for a shareware utility. Gee, thanks dad!

When you consider that $90 will get you Adobe Photoshop Elements and $80 will buy a new 4GB iPod Shuffle, it's difficult to understand why BusyMac would insist on a price like this.

DJC0  I have an iMac, and Air and an iPhone. I have BusySync installed on the iMac and use MobileMe to keep all my iCal's in step. Hence i only need one BusySync license.

True, i needed MobileMe to do this (at ~$99/year), but there are a number of cheap or free ways to sync iCal calendars to give the same effect. The beauty of BusySync is that it syncs between **Google Calendar and iCal**, something that's much harder to do without grief.

And BusySync has done this seamlessly, for me at least. I'm very happy to have purchased it, and i highly recommend it.
