What is the best Address-Book-like app for a Mac?

I have a bunch of contacts scattered across different programs - email, Entourage, Thunderbird, etc. I'm trying to find the 'killer app' that stores all the info, allows me to group people, and retrieve the information easily. Is there a great program for Mac that does this?

Yeah, Address Book.

Is this a trick question?

I think the poster is asking for an app that is LIKE Address Book, hence "Address-Book-like app", instead of an "address book like app". And i'm sorry, I don't know of one, but just wanted to clarify.

Well, just in case... Apple has a native program on the machine called none other than Address Book. You can find it in your applications folder. It does all which you described in your post and a whole lot more. Good luck, though you shouldn't need it.

okay, thanks! I know of Address Book. Just curious if there was something better out there that people are using.
