ah, there it is, thanks for your patience. but this still does not help, for 
the situation described in the other mail:
assume two projectors available, projector one is booked in the morning, 
projector two is booked in the evening, then the third person comes, and 
wants a projector, for a whole day meeting the same day, then the proposal 
will not find a free time slot (Got no free time interval).

So it is not working as I wanted it to work, but when there would be 
an "amount" field in the database for a given resource, then this could be 
made to work.

well, I also used the categories in an a bit different way, than you might 
have intended. E.g. I have a category "Camping", whereas I have a fishing 
rod, a tent, and other stuff in it. So completely different usage of the 
resource Categories than you are expecting that it is used.

Personally, I like my broad categorizing ;) but would like to have groups of 
resources within these categories, where the amount column in the database 
would help me.
