Well, I guess 2 years ago it looked like the standalone version of Evernote was going away. It is still alive and kicking as far as I can tell, in fact there was an update this month.Really! I had no idea. I have to give it a try. Awesome, thanks.-daddydave (June 16, 2010, 05:49 PM)
SB, you say that you are using Handy Address Book? How are the printing options? They don’t mention much on their web site about printing. Start-Trak shows a heck of a lot of printing options and the overall features look to be as good as if not more extensive than Handy. mwfuss, you say you did use it; any reason you are no longer using it?I'm not sure. I've never printed with it before. I can try later (when i get home) and post back. The website says this:-J-Mac (June 15, 2010, 11:28 PM)
Printing
Print your addresses in a list or table format. Print them in a detailed report format, or in a booklet format. Create a compact, folded, double sided wallet or purse phone book. You can also print mailing addresses out on envelopes and labels. Printing is very customizable, so you can make your printouts appear just as you want.
That's what I'm saying. i kind of keep my eye out for this kind of software. There's nothing new that has come out in the last 5 years. Nobody really cares about this software. Try out Handy Addressbook. If it's not good enough, let me know what is missing, and I'll see if there's anything else that I know about.Ah! one of my favorite subjects. I actually joined this forum initially because I was looking for addressbook software. Unfortunately, addressbook software are considered outdated today because everyone just uses whatever is on their email program, and more accurately, whatever they use for their cell phones. Most people are fine with just having their contacts on their phones.
here are the threads that talk about this. Even though these are old threads, the software mentioned hasn't changed. My favorite that I still use is Handy Addressbook. It's the best of the bunch.

Addressbook Shootout
Despite what those threads say, I am currently using Handy Addressbook as my contacts manager.-superboyac (June 14, 2010, 04:32 PM)
Thanks SB. I did look at those and am checking out some of those apps, but since the threads are two years old I thought I would get some up-to-date info.
Thanks again!

i don't know if it's as funny if you don't know the guy. I'd have to prepare a skit that introduces the character so that people understand his weirdness...then I can do the impressions. My friend does an even better impression of him at meetings. This guy is such a character!By the way, i can do a spectacular imitation of this that floors people.-superboyac (June 14, 2010, 11:49 AM)
Sounds like you have the makings of a 10 Million+ hit viral video.
Get the 15 minutes of fame that's your birthright - upload that baby!-mwb1100 (June 14, 2010, 02:10 PM)
That's when things are in proportion. Some people don't have the physique to wear such things. I know I don't and wouldn't.Ha! For sure! One is distracting in a good way, the other is still distracting...but not in the same way!-wraith808 (June 14, 2010, 11:32 AM)
We only have 2 teenagers in our church, graduated 2 in May so I cannot count on them. But your right about teenagers figuring stuff out way faster than most adults.That's good. You know what would be cool? An iphone app to control this. you can do it right from the pew!
I belive mediashout was around $500 which is quite a bit for us.
I went with PowerWorship because I thought some of the less geeky people JUST might be able to figure it out easier than one of the other ones. But it does work for us and that is fine with me.-techidave (June 14, 2010, 11:16 AM)
I have looked at MediaShout and actually d/l'd the demo. It's not real user friendly and for a small church like ours, with only a few people that actually know something about computers it was too dificult.At my sister's church, they had a similar problem (but it's not a small church). The AV guy knows nothing about computers. I told them all you need to do is find the geeky computer teenager in the church, and he will do an amazing job with all that stuff. i've seen these kids do much better work for free than the adults who are hired.
your right that is a real meal deal but... for our case it wasn't the best deal in town.-techidave (June 14, 2010, 10:55 AM)
hi! yes i'm in the usa.Wow, that's really interesting. It makes sense though. Guys are always hitting on girls at the gym. It's probably quite distracting on both ends. I used to go to a fancy gym, and I'd always be thinking about the girls around me, what clever thing am I going to say to her, maybe I'll ask her out, etc.
we have two nights a week where our gym area is gender specified. it was voted on and passed by something like 90% of the women and better than 70% of the men. from this i would surmise that the majority of our members wanted one night a week where there wasn't the distraction of having the opposite sex around even though the club composition is three quarters single.
weird huh?
now how about someone passing me a club burka so I can go exercise.
the rest of the club is open for everybody seven days a week.-Gwen7 (June 14, 2010, 10:42 AM)
Loved it. It's nice to see cartoons with texture in them, and not just flat color.I feel you there. It's unbelievable how much advertising has crept into our lives.
I really wish that the theatres would get back to using their brains (I know... unrealistic...) and actually bringing some better value back to theatre-goers by putting shorts back in. It would make the 15~30 minutes of commercials bearable.
(Pet peeve of mine -- I LOATHE paying almost $20 for a movie only to have them waste my time with an excessive amount of advertising -- if you want me to watch ads, give it to me for free... Otherwise, f*** **f! A few minutes are ok to allow for stragglers, but 15+ minutes???)
It's always really nice to have shorts before a movie. It really makes the whole "going to the movies" experience much better. You get the movie, plus a cool little surprise!-Renegade (June 10, 2010, 08:17 PM)
Leotards are like bikinis--it's basically underwear that's been socially accepted to be worn in public. You are basically able to see everything. So that makes it sexy. It also tends to enhance most body shapes by having the stretchy fabric everywhere. It makes everything look all tight and smooth.Needless to say, I used to think Sharon Stone was HELLA HOT in that movie...working out in her leotard. Man, i thought that was the hottest thing I had seen at the time.-superboyac (June 14, 2010, 08:39 AM)
what is it about leotards that they have that effect on most guys? i can understand how it would if someone like sharon stone were wearing one. especially if it's one of those suspenders & tubetop combos like she's got on! but i've seen guys go almost as nuts when the body wearing the leotard wasn't exactly up for the challenge.
i only ask because it's reached the point where they've considered asking the members to refrain from wearing them on 'mixed' gym nights at the athletic club i belong to.

If you really want to do this correctly look at MediaShout (which isn't free). It handles all the screen work for a worship service. One nice thing is you can make changes while you are running a service - something PowerPoint has no clue on. You can create a large song library that is totally editable and if you know someone with MS you could get their music library. Just a suggestion.I second getting a full featured software like this. I've seen these things in action, and they are tremendously useful.-geowink (June 14, 2010, 08:42 AM)
