Well?
Do you still use an address book that is on paper and has no batteries or power source?
 
Nope- everything is on my IPhone
 
I own one, actually it was my moms and when she passed away last year I took it. Not only does it have all the names and addresses of all my aunts uncles and cousins I never had, but it is in her handwriting! I alsO get a kick out of seeing all the places my sister has lived, she has 11 address changes she has her own page!!
 
I voted "other" because I've tried DESPERATELY to keep a paper book of addresses...but I keep LOSING it! ;(

I think, in the past 10 years, I've probably gone through 7 or 8 different hard copy address books. I think after DH and I buy our house and move in, I'm going to buy one, fill it up with as much information as I have, and ASSIGN IT A HOME. I have an electronic copy from our wedding invitations, which is most of the addresses I need, but I'd love to have them in a beautiful paper book.
 
I do and also electronic, just in case I lose one
 
Yup, and my calendar is also paper. I find I can take care of things much faster the old fashioned way.
 
Yes, still have and use an old fashioned address book. Just my personal preference and a holdover of my generation I guess!
 
I hardly send anything by snail mail now, so no need for addresses really.
 
Neither I nor my parents have ever had address books. My parents do have a phone book where they have accumulated people's numbers over the years. I don't really use it but I will keep it after they've passed away.
 
Yes.
 
Yes I do.
 
I still have one and use it for all the people whose address I don't use that often and don't want to put in my phone. Distant relatives, old
friends I don't keep in contact with much any more and business. That kind of thing. It definitely still has a purpose.
 
I have everything in multiple electronic sources, but still have an old fashioned book as a back up hard copy! Somethings are just too hard to let go of...
 
yes,b/c i don't how to use them electronic stuffs.
 
HI:

Yup, old daytimer, paper calendar and address book. I recently got an upgraded phone under "duress" (I got outed by my family.... :bigsmile: who were embarrassed... :rolleyes: )

cheers--Sharon
 
Ye, I have an address book and a paper calendar/family planner.
 
I voted no. I have everything saving in a spreadsheet but I do print out my Christmas list and relative list after Christmas just in case.
 
Yes. I only keep phone numbers of people I actually call in my phone.
 
Yes. I have a datebook with room for address I keep in my handbag. I record all appinment and effort at the gym so I can chart my progress. My husband also uses paper and we have a calendar on the fridge--we write appts, etc. so we know what is going on in the family. '

Phone numbers are also in my phone, but honestly, pressing the buttons to get to the right person takes no less time {on my phone, at least! } I just dial the number when I make a call.
 
I just got married so I have a spreadsheet I use. It was great for the wedding, to keep track of RSVPs, meal choices, etc. Now I use it as my address book.
