    Is there a way to sync my wifes and son's calendar, that they keep on their MB's to my MB, without getting 3 .mac accounts. All MB's are on a wireless network.

    Thanks

    Yea, but I don't know the names of any of the programs. Just do some google searches if nobody else can come up with some names.

    what do you mean by sync? do you mean add them to your own calendar?

    you can buy a .Mac/MobileMe family pack also, if .Mac has the funcitonality you need.

    Don't need to edit my calendar remotely.
    I want to be able to sync my calendar with my wives. When she enters an event on her Mac, Ical I want to be able to sync that event so it ends up on my Mac's Ical. I know I can do it through .mac but I want to know if there is a way to to do this without having to buy .mac

    you can subscribe to her calendar if you share it on another hosting site, there should be quite a few sites out there that can do just that. I would search for iCal hosting site.

    i recommend http://icalshare.com/,

    I use it to subscribe to my national holidays, and even an F1 calendar feed.

    ahh you know what, it looks like that is just a place that shows calendars that are already hosted, it looks like you will need a hosting method either way.

    check out http://icalexchange.com/

    it looks like there are ways to host private calendars there.
