[NBLUG/talk] Contact Management

[Christopher Wagner]

This (vtiger) looks like one of the better solutions I've seen and it
may very well apply nicely to my own needs here at the office.

As for something more Outlookish, I really haven't found anything
adequate.  Mozilla's address book is adequate in some respects, but is
limited in functionality.
