vcalendar client program

by Chuck Anderson

I've been using KOrganizer from the kdepim package for a couple years now to store my appointments and todo lists, but I've recently been having issues with the timezone not being applied, causing all appointment times to be shifted into the future. The Configure Time & Date option does nothing at all, and the Configure KOrganizer dialog is an Empty Page (it literally says "Empty Page" on it!). Since I'd rather not be without my calendar for long, does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement program that can read the files made by KOrganizer? I gather that it uses a standard file format called "vcalendar".

I have only burned two dual layer disks so far as they are dam expensive, but they both worked. Usually I'm burning with k3b, or xcdroast. I have a "Mad dog multimedia" on parallel EIDE interface drive.

I haven't bothered to test the DL features on Linux, but I can't imagine that the numbers would be that much off (or at least as off as non-DL) in that review I sent...

I'm in the market to buy a DVD writer. Anybody have any recommendations for drives to look for or avoid? Thanks, Tim.
