OK, Plaxo has limits. So, I’m trying to wrestle out a new strategy and tactics to get around the limits.
Argh!
I took my outlook alumni file (6k), exported it, imported it into gmail, and then imported that into Plaxo30/Comcast.
Looks like it took. No all of my fields but name and email.
Good enough?
Now it will be interesting to see the sync process?
fastening my seatbelt for a bumpy ride,

Typically, applications like Outlook or Vista Mail have very large limits on their address book sizes, while online services like Yahoo or Hotmail limit their address book sizes to 1,000 entries or less. Below are a few suggestions on how to manage your address book so that it remains below the 10,000 threshold.

So, I’m disconnecting all my Outlook files from Plaxo.
Then, I’m going to create a Plaxo syncing file.
Copy Outlook folder to the syncing one. Sync. And, copy back.
Argh!
Better ideas?

Microsoft Wants Your Health Records
Its new service will store your data in one place—and search ads could make it pay
***Begin Quote***
Step into a medical office, and you’re faced with a paradox of modern medicine. Just beyond the receptionist’s desk are all sorts of cutting-edge medical technology. Computed tomography scanners. Electrocardiogram machines. Bone densitometers.
But as you approach that desk to check in, you take a trip back in time. There the receptionist hands you a clipboard of forms. For the umpteenth time you fill in your name, age, allergies, medical history, and the like. For all the medical breakthroughs created by technology, medical records remain an anachronism.

“We can trust Microsoft to keep our health data secure? — Right!” — Luddite
You’ll be surprised to know that I signed myself and Frau up for the service. I haven’t loaded any data yet, but I’m planning to.
Why?
I can hear it all the way from here.
Because, it would have been, and would be useful, in various circumstances.
If I had been more on the ball, then her experience at Pton Hospital where they really screwed her up, might not have happened, or been well documented.
One of the reasons I went to those corny “frau med alert” email was to keep a chronology clear in my head and establish a trail.
I’ve tried several similar services and they either folded, got lost, or were cumbersome. I’m always willing to try stuff if I can see a benefit. No matter how obscure.
Anyway, it might be useful in an emergency, or in litigation.
Besides the insurance companies, the hospitals, and the gooferment already have it all keyed to SSN, how much worse could MSFT make it?
imho!

In my never-ending search to recapture the glory days of skool and the Red Garter in Greenwich Village of the Sixties, I like: irish, folk, or Gay Nineties banjo quartet music.
Here’s a new search tool for internet radio.
Don’t you just love the net!

Very neat. Very clean. Very … elegant.
Love it. Am quickly integrating it into my SOE.

UPDATE: One “curve” if you send one to someone else, then you have to tell them not to reply to it. Replies appear to go to the bit bucket. Great service; needs improvement. Definitely a keeper.

UPDATE: The developer responds. How kool is that?

Subject: Re: What happens to replies?
Hello,
We are sorry but the notes are sent from a generic email address note@note2email.com) therefore, displaying the replay to the sender is not available right now. Basically if someone replies to a note that was sent via note2email.com, that reply will only get in the note2email.com inbox and will not be redirected in any way to the sender.
We are currently working on a mechanism that shows the status of a note and displays the content of any replies.
Thank you for using our service ,
We will keep you posted.
Andrei

[Of course, I have to have the last word!]
As you can see from my blog, I like it. It would seem “easy” (Easy for me, cause I don’t have to do anything.) to allow the inputter to supply a reply to address. That would make it the cat’s meow. :-) fjohn

I was a TOPIX editor for two areas — Kendall Park and Manhattan College NCAA. I’ve dropped those activities as well as the Jasper Jottings Sports blog. I am re-focus-ing on things and there was no R for the I in the ROI.
