Is there any way to have more than one Address book per user?
One of our people has synched her address book and iCal with her
boss to manage it, but she needs one for her own addresses. I've
looked around and there's lots of stuff about sharing address
books with multiple people, but nothing about one person having
multiple address books.
Bet those apps will blindly follow symlinks. Set up two trees -
one of her files and one of her boss'ss Use a script to quit the
apps, switch symlinks, launch apps...
And in a week she'll come crying to me that somehow one address book
got synched over the other or they're both melded now. This is for
the Dean of the College, he has a HUGE address book.
Looks like she'll be using Thunderbird.
How much time does she spend with each address book? Are the times
close to mutually exclusive?
A kludge, but it might work. Set up a separate user named Deans
Address Book and use Fast User switching to switch between them. The
speed is bearable on my dual 533 G4, and I am sure she is running
something faster.
Just a thought.
