After the new updates I really miss that little red button that would take me to the actual address book. Anyone know if I can reinstall / use the older address book widget? Or get the button back?

yeah, the previous address book widget was much better. It was so convenient to be able to open the address book from the widget to edit contact's information. Someone please figure out a way to get the old address book widget back.

My address book widget doesn't display my contacts in alphabetical order. How do I set this up so this is the default way to display my contacts? I'm running 10.4.

what i'd like to see is the ability to copy a phone number; say i look someone's number up (or address, of course) and want to email that info; there's no way to copy from the widget.
(so i have to use a pen & write it down, or worse, use my brain & remember it!)

The best thing about widgets is that they are JavaScript and HTML underneath. You can pretty easily modify them to suit your specific needs.
