Move AOL addresses to Address Book
Authored by: zadig on Feb 05, '04 01:19:55PM

The truly frustrating thing about this is that the AOL client for OS X (just like the OS 9 clients before it) has about 90% complete AppleScript support for the Address book.

For example, each screen name has its own address book. Using AppleScript, you can create an Address Book entry, but you can't specify which user's address book gets the entry, so it can end up anywhere.

Reading address book entries was also *mostly* there, but never quite worked. It seems to be a little bit more broken in the latest OS X clients.

They've also gotten their Communicator client to about 90% before stopping development, at least for now. So it's complete, but slow and buggy. That's AOL's trouble, they never finish anything. Where's their pride in their work?
