I've tried MySync and I think Plaxo does a better job.

By using Plaxo you'll never ever have to add anyone to Addressbook ever again! How can one state and state about it without commenting on the brilliance of Plaxo? I sound like an advertisement. Well, maybe because it's so fucking brilliant. Please, please, please….Plaxo is the #1 Superaddon for Addressbook. By using Plaxo you’ll never ever have to add anyone to Addressbook ever again!

I use one of the phone number entries for Apple's toll free support line and another for the Mac's serial Number. The Large Type option makes the SN really easy to read when needed.

Currently, I have to copy my own vcard 29 times, then print all my duplicate contacts on one Avery 8660 label sheet (30 labels). Once done, I have to then delete the 29 duplicates. There HAS to be an easier way to print a full sheet of return address labels in Address Book. I would be very, very thankful if someone could explain how to do this basic, yet amazingly frustrating task.

I'm an avid Spell Checker X user as you know, but had not stumbled upon that option before. Thanks for the tip. Evan, Fancy that!
