Free or open Source Contact Manager
« on: September 19, 2008, 09:33:20 AM »
Does anyone know of a good free or open source contact manager that can be run off a flash (thumb) drive?  I am looking for something that will let me add contacts with multiple phone/fax/email fields as well as a comment field.  Also not necessary, but useful would be the ability to log conversations to the contact.

My point was that it contains an address book and is portable.

Point taken when you wrote it.  However, I just want the contact management program, which offers more than just storing addresses.  Thanks for the suggestion anyways.

The only thing that comes to my mind is EssentialPIM:
http://www.essentialpim.com/?r=products&pr=dvsp

I've never used it before, but I know there is the free version. I think it does a lot more than just manage contacts as well.

Thanks Ryan I will try it out.  I loaded it up quickly and initially it looks like Outlook.
