EGAD.   anyways..  looked around after posting this email..
in my Application Support /AddressBook directory was a file called  
something like : AddressBook.data.previous  which was several MB in  
size compared to the few k my current addressbook.data file was.  All  
seems well with the world !

Don't know what went wrong with my last iSync update.. but THANK YOU  
Apple for staying on the ball and making a backup for me !!!
