Pimlical

I downloaded Pimlical for Windows Desktop (http://pimlicosoftware.com/index.html) to trial it, it costs $19.95. One possible benefit of using it would be to back up a Google Calendar account and be able to use the calendar when the Internet is down.

This made me want to check some free desktop calendar alternatives that can sync and save Google Calendar data but it seemed that many of them either stopped being developed (Sunbird) or are bundled with email (which I don’t need) or are no longer free (Rainlendar Pro). I don’t mind paying a bit of money for it, though free would be nice.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good desktop calendar for the PC that syncs with Google Calendar, mostly for backup and archiving purposes but also if it’s superior to using Google Calendar on a daily basis?

(Pimlical looks sophisticated but I’m not entirely taken by the interface.)
