[Robotgroup] GNU/Open Source contact manager?

In my quest to prepare for the Microsoft-free Linux lifestyle I envision
for myself in the future, I'm trying to replace all the commercial
Windows apps I use with equivalent GNU applications.

I've pretty much moved from/to the following:

Microsoft Office -> Open Office
Outlook -> Thunderbird
Internet Explorer -> Firefox
Winzip -> 7zip
Acrobat -> PDF creator
WSftp -> Filezilla
ICQ -> GAIM
Picture Publisher -> The GIMP

So now, I need a contact manager / appointment calendar to replace ACT
2000. Of course, as I am still infected with Windows XP, the solution
has to be something that has a Win32 version for now.

I've experimented with Sunbird and just recently with Lightning plug-in 
for Thunderbird, but it really doesn't integrate with the address book 
at all, which is pretty disappointing...

Any other ideas?

Vern
