[G4] Address Book Backup

[Daniel Brieck Jr.]

Melissa,

Try this : the real location, so close before...

(Your Home directory)/Library/Application Support/AddressBook

Sorry, for the confusion I have an Addresses folder in Library and I 
assumed that it was what the Address Book application was using. 
Apparently, it is an old location for the Address book because I found 
the new location above as well...

Also a thing to try when you are having trouble locating stuff:

File-Find in the Finder. A search for "address" would have helped you 
find what your were looking for. Keep in mind that we are using a 
Macintosh and that most files have a reasonable humane filename. So, 
searching in most cases will help you find what you are looking for.
