I use Entourage as a contact manager. As a former ACT! user I find Entourage less robust and complete but suitable as a repository for contact information, calendar, journals, reminders and task lists. It is very similar to MS Outlook. I don?t recommend it if you are in need of a thorough CRM.
Now Up to Date and Now Contact has a downloadable trial version. It seemed better than Entourage and Outlook but not as good as ACT! But it is worth a try. Just do a Google search for Up to Date and Now Contact. I really miss ACT! and E-Grabber and wish they would create an OSX version.
