I use the group function on my iPhone a little different sometimes. Instead of email addresses, I use phone numbers. For instance, if I'm looking for a bait shop on my way to a fishing trip, I made up a group called Bait Shops with all their phone numbers. (Most bait shops don't have email addresses anyway) Sometimes live shrimp is hard to find, and you have to call around to find bait. I also did the same with the members of my Homebrew club. If I should be brewing one day and are short an ingredient or need some help, by hitting the group button, I get a list of people who could help without fumbling through my whole contact list. I noticed that there is no way to make a group on the iPhone, which would be a nice addition some day. It should be easy to do, just put a plus sign on the top of the group page and scroll through the contacts and pick out the members of the group. Anyway, thanks for a great web site for us Mac users.
