If I used my Macs more often, I'd probably be using Apple's iCal along with my Google Calendar (perhaps with Spanning Sync helping to keep the two synced up). I'll definitely keep BORG in mind though... Outlook 2007's been having a rash of issues since the DST switch occurred, and I have pretty much sworn off using that abomination of a program for anything but email at this point...

I don't really want the email-calendar tie in, and I certainly don't want to use Outlook. BORG may not be the prettiest, but ... works!

That could be due to my system having 4GB RAM installed and the system's given it a larger allocation of memory... I dunno. To compare, I have had Firefox open almost as long as Outlook and it's using 186MB of memory right now. Adobe Photoshop CS2, which is typically my system's largest memory hog is only using up 14MB of memory. How odd...

Then again, it might use less than Thunderbird or Firefox. FF is sitting at 64MB right now. :( Does it still use a ton of resources?

Then again, it might use less than Thunderbird or Firefox. FF is sitting at 64MB right now.
