[DM-MUG] Addressbook on iMac running 10.5.6 won't open up

[Victoria L. Herring]

I looked and the files in the AB folder were all Unix Executable 
Files, which I take to be not a good thing so cleaned all 
out....restarted and voila, AddressBook starts up and I'm now pulling 
down the data from MobileMe.  Thanks so much, CW
