I use google calendar, and I like
calgoo as an off-line google-calendar app. Calgoo currently works pretty well, though they are going through some growth from a beta-app to their for-fee model. Their free version works fairly well at the moment.
For non shared calendars: Mozilla Thunderbird with the Lightning extension is pretty good. It can subscribe to iCal calendars as well.
For shared calendars: Zimbra Collaboration Suite if you can host, if not then I recommend Gmail. You can configure it to receive/send mail for your domain for free, with almost 3gb of storage and shared calendars, documents, etc.

For several months, I have actually been using Mozilla's Lightning Calendar extension for Thunderbird. It has significantly improved somewhere around 6-9 months ago. It's pretty usable for personal use. While today it is not ready to challenge Outlook in the enterprise, but I have high hopes for Lighting/Sunbird and Chandler in the next 12-24 months.

I have been using Localendar for 5 or 6 years now and suddenly...IT'S GONE. I'm hoping they are either updating or having server issues. Does anyone know? They haven't gone out of business have they?

Hmm, a quick Google search didn't show anything about them going out of business. Some links on their site worked fine, but the search went really slow, which leads me to think that they might just be having server or site issues.

Thanks for your reply. I also tried viewing their "cached" copy from Google and it looks like they are doing a MAJOR site overhaul. I now have my calendar back on my website, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
