iCal - Kate - 09-13-2011
You know what? After using iCal for a million years, I've decided I really hate it. The font is too small and the colors are too washed out.
Is there any way to fix either of these issues? Or maybe a replacement that would cross reference across the MacBook, the iPhone and the iPad?
As near as Ican tell the only advantage is that it does cross reference between these three.

What does cross reference mean?
If you mean share across multiple devices, there are a couple of things you could do - publish/subscribe your calendars, add-on software called BusyCal that lets you manage calendars across multiple devices, or you could switch completely to Google's calendar system.

check out TUAW. They had a story on how to fix iCal.

+1 for BusyCal.

I like Google calendar a lot. Aside from having access to it wherever I have internet access, it syncs seemlessly with my Palm Pixi over wifi or 3g in the background. I may be wrong, but I seem to recall that iCal won't sync easily with anything but an iphone.
I still fire up iCal and have it "backup" my Google calendar data but my phone also makes a good backup when I'm not near a computer or am offline.
Lastly, google provides a free CalDAV server so I can share for free.

Also frustrated with iCal, addressbook etc

Palm Desktop still gets top marks from me as a PIM.
Address List, To Do List, Memo List, and Date Book all integrated together.
If anyone comes up with a replacement as elegant as this software, let me know. They stopped updating a number of years ago, and it won't run on Lion.

I still miss the Palm OS calendar app.
