Outlook 2002 to Outlook 2003

As readers/listeners to Calendar Swamp know, I'm running Microsoft Outlook 2002 which came with the Dell Axim Pocket PC I won in a raffle last year. After reading story after story like this and talking to lots of folks, I've decided to spend $79 to purchase Outlook 2003 solely on the asumption it can open iCal .ics files. Outlook 2002 sure can't! The upgrade is coming from Amazon with something else that's on advance order, so round about September 1, I hope to install the upgrade and get to the bottom of this once and for all.
