Okay today before leaving work I dragged all my vcards (addressbook.app) into an email attachment and emailed it to my PC at work. It (with panther) put then in one big file called vcards.vcf
However Outlook 2003 only imports the first contact in the vcard. I opened the vcard in a text editor and all 300 names and contacts are there. So apparently Outlook doesn't support vCards fully. What is a simply app (preferable like addressbook.app) that I can use at work to view my addressbook?
I need to be able to use this today before I go home... Any Macheads forced to use Windows at work and have a good alternative?

Palm desktop is gross.
I found an app called a-book that worked great. I had to pay $30 for it but it's nice and simple. Too bad I can't find any app that decodes the uuencoded pictures inside the vcardfile (headshots) into an windows addressbooks :-P

Try dragging each card out separately. Then dragging each one into Outlook.

Yes, this is what I would suggest. Something in either Address Book, Mail, Finder, or the OS itself turns the multiple contacts dragged from AB into one file. Outlook apparently can't handle a vCard with multiple contacts, but I haven't had a problem with groups of individual-contact vCards
