I've been thinking about taking a little time to learn Access 2010 and put all my contacts in there. You can make your own quick and easy custom interfaces and find what you need with quick searches.
This would be great to determine people for ICQ, address, emails, etc without ever needing a reminder (makes you appear more professional).
I'll probably go with this, just wish there was a more established opensource solution that was cross platform. Of course you can run some kind of Microsoft server and get that going, too much effort though.
Thoughts?

If you already own Access than that is one way to go although would not recommend it. There are so many other options out there and the learning curve much shorter. Although not free here are 2 that I have used, both are cross platform and both have free trials.
