exporting apple's address book
Forenoon Filings recently took delivery of its first GMail address but in a bid to get in line other email accounts, it required a quick and easy method of porting the address book contacts over.
Manually keying multiple entries really is something that should never be considered, yet a glaring omission exists in Apple's Address Book application - the ability to export the whole book as a CSV file (which makes for quick and easy imports from almost any other email or messaging client). Although the option is there for exporting individual entries, this is not something that is very appealing - expecially when your total entires heads north of twenty.
There are a number of Applescript options that can be used, but perhaps one of the most user friendly (and free) applications is the Address Book Exporter. It just does what it says!
