wanted to cast my vote.  Since I don't know much of anything about "The ical
standard" and what it might be useful for, I would probably learn the most
by voting for number 2.  However, I love database work and have not, as yet,
had the opportunity to look into mysqli.  So number 3 is also a good
candidate.  I have also enjoyed your prior posts where you incorporated your
address book schema as examples.  It might be nice to see a copy of the
entire schema and some SQL examples of how you pull the data out for you
application.  So,  I guess it's time for a decision.  Hmm....  Well, I guess
I'll be logical and go for number 2.  But put down 3 and 1 (in that order)
as alternates for me.

Thanks,
