An alternative calendar for Mac
Tired of iCal? PreMinder, which is still in Beta, makes for a potentially viable alternative.
First of all, don't worry about losing all your iCal info and events. PreMinder lets you easily import all iCal information. The application is built in a multi-windowed interface, which has always turned me off a bit, as I find it unpractical to work. Not only do you have the big calendar window, but also the reminder window at the bottom, an events window on the left and a floating mini-calendar.
PreMinder provides multiple ways of scrolling through items, from a very handy monthly slider at the top to the daily notifier on the left or the quick back and forward buttons in the Calendar window.
PreMinder lets you create your own events, alarms and reminders. These can be repeated, stretched to multiple days or weeks and moved around very easily.
The search box at the top right of the PreMinder interface makes it easy to find any piece of data in seconds.
Although still in development, PreMinder is a promising alternative to iCal with lots of flexibility and features.

Experience with Preminder.
This is the best program I have downloaded. A simple task but the program is so simple in it's logic and so sophisticated in it's results that it is the first thing I look at when I boot up. It starts my day off right and it is the only program I have ever downloaded that has not frustrated me one time. I can't speak highly enough of it. Would that other programs shared it's operating logic.
Pros:
It's all Pros
