Calendars, who needs 'em?

Recently at my job, I've been asked to do a lot of research for php calendars to use for a client. I've been looking back and forth like crazy to get this done. But then it got me thinking: who really uses calendars? I mean, for a company using a website, it's nice to see their list of events and schedules. However, on every computer there's a type of calendar application that can display different events that you want to remember/be notified.

Following this link is an interesting article bringing to light the pros and cons of calendar applications that range from their capabilities to which platforms they're supported on. At my job I always use iCal, but I'm a PC kind of gal. I don't know, I really don't care for it either. I never really thought of myself being so busy that I need to commit time to write down my events on an app or any desktop. The article's still valid in its argument; I just don't feel it affects me that much in terms of needing a calendar application.
