.ics files
 These are files with calendar entry information.
 Mac:
   Clicking on an .ics file in Safari or Firefox will automatically
   
Firefox and Safari: Give you a dialog box asking if you want open with iCal
Note this didn't always work. Sometimes I had to save the file then double
click on it in the finder or drag it to the iCal window or app.
Chrome:
  You must specify the handler for .ics
  Chrome > Preferences > Under the Hood > Handlers > Manage Handlers
Quit and restart chrome
Clicking on a .ics file then downloads it and puts it at the bottom of the screen
where you can click on it to open and load it in iCal.
