Have you looked at SBS for 2003? It gives you 25 CALs and costs under $700.

| We are a small business (8 people) and do fine on peer to peer
| network (under 10 users), so our 'file server' is running Windows
| 2000 Workstation (not Server). We have Office XP + Win XP pro on the
| other computers.
|
| We want to do something seemingly simple - access and / or update a
| common contacts folder and calendar.
|
| I remember on a previous version of Windows and Outlook (not Server,
| and not with Exchange Server), we could set up a post office in the
| control panel and setup shared folders in Outlook (changes were
| 'emailed' to all and automatically updated the shared folders)
|
| This feature seems to be gone, and to my horror it appears that to
| get that feature back we have to purchase 3 grand worth of software -
| Windows Server and Exchange Server - just to have a common calendar
| and contacts folder!!?
|
| Please, please tell me I'm wrong!
| I don't care about the many other features of both software packages
| because I don't need them.
