Can you give me some examples?  I am in need of an address book and figured 
I'd use one of KDE's since I use KDE all day anyway.  If any of these 
features render the address book critically broken, then it would be helpful 
to know up front so I don' waste time entering data I can't work with 
intelligently.

Thanks.

That's unfortunate -- I'll have to keep that in mind, lest I accidently 
delete all my entries.
