Mac OS X’s calendaring system iCal can be used to manage simple calendars or a complex group sharing multiple calendars. With Apple’s MobileMe service, calendars can be shared online to help organize your day. Calendars can be color-coded by categories such as academic classes, social groups, and weekend planning. This enables you to manage days more efficiently and accomplish more with your time. iCal is also sync-able with iPhone and iPod Touch to keep your schedule available all day long.

An apple a day, keeps the doctor away, but an Apple a week can help you stay afloat of the many academic uses of the Apple computer.
As a new student contributor of UNH IT Pipeline, I will be authoring a weekly column about Apple Computers and how they can improve college life. Just because Macs are known for Graphic Arts and Multimedia, doesn’t mean they’re not great in academic areas.
