Looks quite interesting, but like *WAY* more product than we need --
CRM, inventory-mgmt, trouble-ticketing, sales/marketing/aftermarket
stuff, etc.

All we want is calendar-sharing features.

I suppose we could try it out, and leave 90% of the features
un-touched... but my gut says not to go for a product with so much
more-complex a featureset than we want/need.
