Default Calendar

I'm after a calendar app for the computer (as i forget bloody everything), if it can work/be accessed online too, that would be cool.

After a brief search Google Calendar came up.

Anyone use this? Or have any other recommendations??

(It says "begin a free trial", so i'm presuming you have to pay for GC)

You can pay for Google Calendar as a part of Google Apps. But as a home user I'd just use the free version you get when you sign up for Gmail. It's brilliant.

You can get the calendar for free with a gmail account (you don't have to use the actual e-mail bit - just the calendar). You also get google docs and some other apps. All free.

It's excellent. You can use the calendar on any computer with internet access. You can even use Mozilla Sunbird or Thunderbird + Lightning on your desktop computer to sync with google calendar automagically.

I use the Calendars with Google Apps (uses my domain names) for work and personal use. Excellent. Every device I own - phone, laptop, desktops has the same calender (and e-mail) on it. For free. Just brilliant.
