I have thousands of unlisted/private phone, fax and cell numbers and emails.
In my old school way of keeping track of these, I keep them in a DayRunner from Staples. Yes, I said old school.
Now I need to convert these to a computer (PC) program that will cross reference a company name as well as the individuals associated with that company/country/vocation.
Any ideas from the peanut gallery and the genius there within?
I don't know that it requires a "genius" to say "Microsoft Excel"
Gosh, no.

Lotus 1-2-3.
Use the 3.4 for DOS version, the 4.0 version is crap.
Google Spreadsheets
Well, you could scan the cards into a Word document, type out the relevant information from each card under its picture, and print these pages out. Never had a hard copy crash on me to this day.
I guess what I am looking for is my own private "phonebook". I see sites online calling themselves "my phone book". Any recommendations?

I think you're thinking of "face book." Definitely a good way to keep up with friends, I would check it out.

My cell phone stores all this stuff automatically and syncs it when I get a new one. Welcome to the future baby!!!
I believe when the OP said "LRC Geniuses" he meant only verified geniuses, such as myself.
Then again, he said "geniuseses," making me thing this is a Brojo anonymous post. On second thought, this really looks like a typical help post from the Brothers Johnson.
OK, so far we get a 3 of 10 on help.
We score a 4.2 as far as assholitical humor goes. One would think LRC geniuseses could do better on both fronts.
I am thinking that I will eventually need space for 8,000 names and numbers. You're telling me a cell phone can handle that?
8,000 records... 1 kb per record... that's 8 mb...
Not saying using a phone for this is a good idea but I'm pretty sure they have a little bit more than 8 mb...

No it's not. A relational database is overkill unless those contact numbers are going to be linked to other kinds of data tables such has customer accounts, employee accounts, sales receipts, inventory, etc.
Excel is perfect. Even Outlook will do the job.
