One more reason to get a mac: Spanning Sync. A program is in development that will allow true synchronization between your online Google Calendar, and offline iCal. Make a change online and see that reflected in your offline ical. Make a change offline and see it updated on your Google Calendar. This is how it should be. Watch the demo video.
