Well,Jerry- when you have the addressbook set to last name first, then Marta in this case would be the last name, which , incidentally ,happens a lot , addressbook or not, because there is no h in the Marta which throws people off and they try, having brains, to use them and figure that Edie must be the first name!. But this is a thinking!!! problem, not an addressbook problem. My husband has the same difficulty. Since Dayton is not a well known first name, folks like to apply an extra letter to the last name and make it a first name sounding like Eddie Dayton . Now if you were called Jerry George instead of Jerry Freeman, or Mathew Jacob, you would have this problem built into your life and would be attuned to that first name last name dilemma in your daily existence . Folks from Atlanta always "know" Marta is a last name due to their MARTA local transport system . And this is the point where brains can interfere with mechanical set-ups. There is a marvellous book in German " ?ber die Dummheit" about "stupidity " stupidity because of too much or too little brain, both types exist . While those brainy Mac software writers ,I guess ,think of all their own possibilities while creating, as soon as the ware goes public---- ever more possibilities appear, as brainy people do the trying out. How else could the constant upgrades happen ? They are not all fixes, some are enhancements, too. Marta On Aug 18, 2005, at 23:04, Jerry Freeman wrote:
