Has anyone tried Filemaker's Bento 3? They're touting that it does
serious integration to iCal & Addressbook databases. Sounds too good
to be true. Maybe I'll download their free demo...

I use a combination of:
- Apple Address Book
- Bento (for custom fields)
http://www.filemaker.com/products/bento/
- BusyCal
http://busymac.com/

I have current versions of Chronos Organizer, Contactizer Pro and
Daylite, but I'm happy with the Address Book, Bento and BusyCal combo.

I'm actually liking Bento 3..... I think I might just settle on this
for my contacts. It helps that it already has tight integration with
Address Book with the chance to see tasks, events, and e-mails in one
screen.

I'm using the same setup with BusyCal, Bento, and Address Book as
well.....

I do like the customization capabilities of Bento 3.

I tried BusyCal a while back but decided against it because it did not
support Calendar Groups... I use them extensively in iCal
Does it support them now or is there any way to have groups of
calendars within BusyCal?

How about Bento's ability (or lack of) to set up mass e-mailings by
organizing groups of contacts? I used to do this by NOW's categories
-- AB's only sending by groups doesn't meet my needs. Am wondering if
Bento is really suitable for 'serious' business purposes, under its
pretty face.
