With Apple, it's always something

A person would think after 5 years of daily use of OS X, and a handful of Apple certifications, I would have figured out most of the power of the Apple OS X operating system and utilities.

Think again.

iCal - Yet Another Too Simple to be true.

Typically run about a dozen local calendars to track various projects and "lives", personal and private.

Recently started using iCal for check payments in a calendar named "Spending". Want to see every check you wrote this month? Turn off all the calendars except that one. Put the calendar in month view. Just that simple.

Vendor from Address Book

Drag the vendor from address book, drop them in ical on the time-date the check was written, fill in the details.

Oops! I was in the wrong calendar. So this entry is in long-term-todo, rather than Spending.

Delete and repeat?

I don't think so.

Drag the ical entry in the wrong calendar, drop it on the correct calendar in the left pane.

Just that simple. Just the way I hoped it would work, and thought it may work.

Still trying to break myself from the old ways of thinking about technology.
