Just had a very large client reach out and ask for LibreOffice again after moving to MS Office because they found Excel too difficult to get data in correctly. So they are going to LibreOffice for exactly the reason that everyone claims that "everyone" chooses MS Office... LO is easier to use and has better compatibility 🙂

They own licenses for both, so purchase cost is not a factor. They've used MS Office more time in the last three years. Given less time with LibreOffice and zero "price" incentive, they've chosen it as the superior product for them - with zero prompting from IT. Out of the blue the managers chose it as the better product.

What you may need to do is log in to the Calendar's web interface on Google... then go to Settings.

Then click on the Calendar you need to sync... and then scroll to the bottom and get the "Secret Adddress in iCal format"

Then Link that one in iCal on the Mac... I think you add it by URL... But that should give you 2 way Syncing, not a one time import.

Started working, took about five hours for the emails to flow. Must have been a long setup time on the back end.

The name change makes sense, but the name G Suite is just terrible. I can understand Google not wanting people to confuse Google Apps with Android type Apps. Because they really aren't just apps they are an office suite.

Even Google Suite would have been better. Or just Google Office (unless that is trademarked).

The irony is that I am sure they spent thousands testing the performance of this name change. It makes you wonder what the other options were...

Probably a sickening amount was tested on focus groups. They must have only focus tested on the hip millennials who think saying Google is too much work. I'm sure they are now saying G it instead of Google it.
