Thank you for continuing to enhance this great app. The mini month was something I've been waiting for, but I see that many other improvements have been implemented.

Nice update folks! Less and less need for iCal each time!

Now if we only could have read/write support for CalDAV, I could ditch iCal entirely! :)

I just realized, that you are not updating the Exchange Calendars as iCal does. Hmm, what a pity, as it means I put the upgrade fee to BusyCal to a worthy cause, yet not to something I can use..

Is there a timeplan for further Exchange integration?

Nice app, but you guys gotta add a "Family Pack" license. I've got five Mac in my house and really, I'm not going to spend $200 (or $160 with the discount) on any calendaring App. And since .Mac, er, Mobile MiniMe doesn't sync the special categories in BusyCal, there's no way I can put my eggs in the BusyCal basket.

Seems that a Family Pack could sell for $75 and be a very fair price for the home user to install the app on five machines.

What do you think, BusyCal folks?

[Andrew Rodney]

Absolutely love this product! Great upgrade/update. Keep up the good work.

Agree about a family (3 seat) license at the very least.

[Dean Rostad]

this is a wonderful program

...for a future update please update the search componant so it searches like iCal does. I find it quite useless currently - it won't list future and past data.

Very nice app. But how about migrating from Now Up to Date?

[Scott Rose]

Um, that's what their Now Up To Date Migration tool is for.
