Export it to the floppy. Then when you need it again you can Import it to a new install or upgrade of the email client.

Also, if you have a gmail or yahoo mail account you may want to check and see if it can import one of the formats which you can export.

For example with Gmail

We support importing contacts in the CSV file format (Comma Separated Values). For best results, please use a CSV file produced by Outlook, Outlook Express, Yahoo!, or Hotmail.

Yahoo does the same or similar. It has been a while since I did one of these; but I really liked the results.

Of course if you have a hotmail account you just go to the outlook express windows address book and under tools choose synchronize and it uploads and syncs it with the online one.

Ah it get it. You want a portable application addressbook which you can run from a floppy without installing on a PC so you can carry your addressbook around.

I would start here

http://portableapps.com/

Easy with a USB flash drive, you can install portable thunderbird and then just export the addressbook from one client on your PC and import it there.

http://portableapps.com/apps

Is another site

http://www.portablefreeware.com/?q=address+book&m=Search

Open contacts, contact pocket,

http://www.fonlow.com/OpenContacts/

Gonna have to check download size. But I am not sure you can find one which fits on a floppy.

I have an addressbook whcih installs from a floppy somewhere, maybe I can try to see if it is portable.

Ah, this one is tiny

http://www.scrapbook.enware.info/

ScrapBook is a unstructured database that holds any form of text data. It can be used as an address book, todo list, bookmark manager etc. Each ScrapBook database holds a set of cards, which are analogous to pages in a book. Each card contains a chunk of text, and the first line of text is used as an index. All or some of the card indexes can be viewed together as a list to be perused and edited.

Even smaller (392KB)

@ddressbook

Synopsis: @ddress Book is a small address book that holds names, addresses, phone numbers, URLs and emails.

(This download link works)

I used to use an old DOS rolodex software which would fit on a floppy and you could run it from a command prompt.

This is close

Hopefully one of those does what you want.

ok thanks for the replys

i got it on a floppy by saving it as a text file

some thing i found on one of petes

links

i haven done it before so

it is a learning curve

ive manily done it on a cd

but a floppy is much more simple

tho ime aware it only has a certain amount of space

thanks al the same

it dosent matter how long youve had a compt

you never stop learning

i believe more modern compt dont have a floppy drive

so ide be lost there

is there an alternative to a floppy on a modern compt
