I received a nice Rolodex card from a vendor today. I thought it was a good Marketing idea, a way to keep their number handy. But I wondered, who uses a Rolodex these days? I haven't had one in years, ever since I got Outlook and e-mail. Anyone else still using the Rolodex?

I use the 1 at work every day, the 1 at home a couple of times a month.

Wow, haven't used one in forever. I kept mine around as a "too valuable to throw away" relic for several years after I actually stopped using it, but finally got up the nerve to pitch it when we moved to the new office almost 3 years ago. Have never, ever missed it.

Reminds me, I have to put a new roll of thermal paper in the fax machine. Joke!

I use one at work. Took me along time to come around to it, but it works.

I have 3 rolodexes from fired co-workers in my office. Never use them.

A bunch of young whippersnappers you are, with your fancy schmancy smart phones.

My Aunts are great at taking a stack of collected business cards and putting them in order into one of those card holder notebooks

No lie that's what I do. I have around 10 books of them and they come in handy when I need some obscure company that I used 5 years ago on a part design and my email system has purged their last email due to corp policy.

29 here.

Really? carbon copy you? Same deal as mentioning a rolodex.

I use a rolodex and buisiness card holder. Some of the companies I deal with regularly dont even have email or fax.

I never used it after putting everyones address and number into the computer. Then I had the inevitable crash and lost everything. Now the rolodex is right next to the phone at home.....and gets used almost daily.

In reply to That idiot who can't spell:

It's a paper-based Address Book app, but that's not important right now.
