<sigh>..I *DID*...two minutes of html and I had a web site that opens iCal
on my machine. If I wanted to, I could have javascripted it to open every
single application in a default location on my machine and there'd be
nothing I could do to stop it short of shutting down my browser.

If I were to recode it to use common defaults, then I could probably affect
more machines than just mine.
