Hi all, I'm not seeing the family and friends stuff that she's seeing. I wonder if this is a new feature in Lion. I do have delegates on the left hand side, as well as work or home calendars. I don't have any family or friend options. I'm guessing this is a new feature of iCal in 10.7. I'm still running 10.6.8 here. It could explain why more people aren't seeing this, and thus, don't know the answer.
