Bill, I can't help with the .mac and sync angle, as I am new to that my self. But I think you should be able to find your address book info in the home folder, library, application support. If you copy that and reinstall it in your new home folder in the same place, and select "replace" when asked, it should work. On Oct 26, 2004, at 12:54 PM, Bill Micou wrote:
