thanks - from the article:

"What we really need is database software that stops worrying about  
forms and views, and starts integrating user data into part of an  
overall workflow. That's the beauty of Address Book and iCal - you put  
your data there, and it automagically appears elsewhere as needed  
throughout all of your Mac OS X applications. Bento provides cosmetic  
integration from those sources, but doesn't create integration  
toanywhere else. The poker session I wrote about above is  
simultaneously an iCal event (when), a Quicken entry (how much), and a  
separate bit of autonomous data that I want to work with on its own  
merit (where). If I want that data to appear in all three places, I  
have to build that third place (in FileMaker or Excel, because Bento  
doesn't provide sufficient tools), and then enter the date in each  
application separately."
