BBDB is great, though I haven't switched to BBDB3 yet because of incompatible changes I haven't looked into yet. I actually would like to use org-contacts because I think the editable form is significantly nicer than bbdb's. BBDB is great, but you can't go mess with the database easily. EG, with BBDB if one area gets a new area code you can't go quickly search/replace for all records replacing 111 with 222. With org-contacts it's a simple search/replace edit. Note I wrote a bbdb to org-contacts converter: http://www.hardakers.net/code/bbdb-to-org-contacts/ But what I really want is a bi-directional sync, of course... -- Wes Hardaker My Pictures: http://capturedonearth.com/ My Thoughts: http://pontifications.hardakers.net/
