Plaxo saved my addresses -- and me!

Since my desktop has been giving me trouble recently, I'm starting to use my laptop more and more. The problem is -- how to transfer my email file of addresses (Outlook Express) to the laptop's Outlook. Unless they're on the same computer, it can't be done.

Last night I remembered that Plaxo.com has a copy of all my addresses on its server. So, instead of having to re-enter everything one by one, I went on line to the Plaxo site. After reviewing and deleting old ones, I downloaded the file more or less as quick as a wink. Everything worked and now I have all those addresses in my Contacts file on my laptop.

Whew! Talk about being grateful!

Http://www.plaxo.com Check it out because it automatically updates your Plaxo colleagues when they make changes to their email info. It is very cool --- and FREE! Of course you can upgrade for @$50.00 to a fancier version. But I find the basic is just fine and saved me a lot of trouble last night.
