Looking for a calendar/appointment/reminder program that's better than
Outlook XP/03 and Mozilla Calendar. (Mozilla Calendar still has bugs, and I
don't like Outlook.) What are some of the most comprehensive but least
expensive?

- It can be freeware or shareware.
- It should be a stand-alone app that integrates with Internet
Explorer, Firefox, and/or Thunderbird.
- It does NOT need to be an mail/news client. I already have apps for
mail/news.
- It does NOT need to have an address book or contact list. I have other
apps for that.
- Prefer it be compatible with 98 and higher, but 2000/XP and higher is okay
too.

For shareware ask elseware.

I posted this same request in alt.comp.shareware but no response. Hoping for
better luck here. Naturally, freeware is preferred.

Time and Chaos has, on its legacy products page, a freeware download of its
product. Does just what you want, and it's very capable.

Integrates with Internet Explorer, Firefox, and/or Thunderbird?
How?

If the OP can live without the integration I recommend
EssentialPIM: http://www.essentialpim.com/
(imports data from Oulook)
ChaosManager: http://www.chaosmanager.net/

I'm no sure what your requirement "integrates with Internet Explorer,
Firefox, and/or Thunderbird" means, but you can look at the free
version of Essential PIM (Epim) at:

I'm fond of Rainlendar:

There's mention of an outlook plug-in or some such, but I don't use it.

I don't use Outlook. There is no data to take from it. Outlook is installed
(marked not available in this Office installation).

I can live without the integration in IE, FF, TB. Keep the calendar
suggestions coming.
