Here is some background info that led to my current dilemma.  I asked

application in the Mac world?  Is it as simple as dragging the
application's icon to the trash?

It is naughty of me to ask this without looking harder to see how
it might be done myself. But just in case anyone simply knows:

I use iMac and my iPhone for backing up iCal events and the contacts
in my address book -- no problem. But what about my To Dos in my iCal?
They don't sync with either, it appears. Or am I wrong?  Suggestions?
