(My love of Google > My laziness) so I'll reply :P1. Not to my knowledge. However, IF all the people were Google Calendar users, then you can do invitations/requests through Calendar/Google.2. Yes definitely and it kicks ass. Goog Calendar can have multi calendars, so my "Birthday" calendar SMSs me one week in advance. My general "Events" calendar SMSs me 24hrs in advance. Calendars have default notification settings, but you can always customize certain ones (reminder to pay rent comes 48 hrs in advance).3. Err someone else can chime in here. There's a lot of Gmail/Gcal/RememberTheMilk fanboys and they have come up with some fancy dancy stuff with integrating todo lists directly into Google Calendar. For me, when it comes to tasks, I'll stick to pen and paper thanks.You're welcome in advance. Oh wait...

the filter is a pia. i got sick of having to use filters. At my yahoo address I get NO spam because whatever I mark as spam is blocked FOREVER and I never see that spammer again. I've written to gmail support but they've not bothered to reply or help me in any way.
