Is my Address Book missing something?

Hi all,

Glad to be a part of this community.

I was reading the following post: http://www.43folders.com/2007/08/20/purging-infopoor-entries-address-book

And when I came upon the last critria: "IM Username," I realized I didn't have that in the drop down list of my Addressbook. I'm running AddressBook 4.0.5 on 10.4.10

I even tried adding a custom field labeled "IM Username" thinking that it would populate the filtering drop down menus, but no such luck.

Am I missing something, or just blind to something so simple?

Thanks!

Is that correct?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
