iCal Turns Five Today
Today Apple’s iCal application turns the rip old age of five.
In case you hadn’t noticed, the iCal application ican stays a constant “July 17″ which, not surprisingly, also happens to be the day it was released to the masses (ie. its birth).
iCal is currently at version 2.0.5 with a fairly major update coming when Leopard is released next decade.

I cracked up when you wrote “iCal is currently at version 2.0.5 with a fairly major update coming when Leopard is released next decade.”
Amen, brother.
A work-around to the “stuck on the 17th” has been around for years.
or you can just hack the time in the menu bar to show the date
Or just leave iCal open all of the time.
July 17.
See I had been thinking this entire time it was because on July 17, 2003 I got my first Mac, and started up iCal for the first time.
I had no idea this was the reason. What a cool coincidence. :-)
