Re: [Evolution] ACT 2000!

Hi Tom,

I use Act 4 pretty much every day. I have yet to find anything in Linux
that'll do the things I use Act for, of course, to maintain an address
book with the ability to store dated notes, and allows me to add
user-defined fields.

If I were able to find one or was able to help in creating one. I'd be
a very happy camper indeed!!

Thanks!
  Ken
