You are quite welcome, and welcome to the club!  While I have been a bit disappointed with Google’s support for Calendar, I recommended the other two programs because I find their syncing to work reasonably well under normal circumstances.  And while Toodledo has a paid subscription in addition to its free version, it is extremely affordable.  I have been spending the better part of the last two years trying to build a calendar and task management system that it multi-platform and cloud-synced, and this has caused me fits on several occasions.  On the one hand, I am using a PC, and Android phone and an iOS tablet.  Two years ago, I had a sony Clie and a PC.  So, as hardware and software changes seem to be somewhat of a given for the time being, this strategy seems to make sense.  On the other hadn, the software for my iPad2 seems a bit more developed, and I am wondering if I am better served in the short run by putting all of my eggs in one basket, the iPad2, and dealing with hardware or software changes down the road.  The problem with this approach is that my iPad2 is only wifi, and it is not always with me like my phone.  If youa re going to rely on the cloud for syncing, then it seems to me that you need to be connected to it, and not just on occasion.  Looking back, its interesting to see that I have gone from being hardware dependent, to being program and internet-connection dependent.  so, am I really more productive, or am I confusing spending my time maintaining and migrating infromation for being productive?  I am not sure that I want to answer that question! ;)
