Rolodex anyone? - kap - 02-25-2023

Are folks still using it?!! I was pleasantly surprised during one of my aimless net-surfings. I had thought people had been hooked on Google Calendar and iPhone's version of it. What are you using to keep all of your contacts?

Do you mean physical Rolodexes? Yes, I have two on the credenza behind me. Now that I've worked from home for eight years, I probably should consolidate them into one.

I never have figured out Contacts. It seems like only some of my listings show up on desktop, and others on Google Voice, and still others on my iPhone.

Ha! I was just talking about this recently, and noted (after sorting through a bunch of old and outdated business cards) how I prefer looking at a rolodex to my contacts or an Outlook folder.

Does anyone recall the card scanner at a MacWorld show ca. 1995 or so, that was going to revolutionize the business card market? Ha.

Yup, the physical one. I am seriously considering purchasing 2: one for myself; the other one for the Wife as she has started to WFH more now. Cell phone contacts always go missing whenever physical phone updates or OS updates involved.

Still have 2 from "olden days". I can't toss them for the memories they contain. I guess if I needed the space I could put the cards in a box to save . . .
