T'Bird Address Book Question

I use T'bird at home and at the office. I would like to merge the two
address books and then use the same book at each work station. Is there
a way to do that?

Thanks

Export both to either LDIF or CSV files, import both into Excel, merge,
purge dupes etc., save, import merged file back to each profile.

Doesn't solve the issue of synchronization, though. You'll have to
periodically do the same routine to keep them in sync. but if you do it
regularly you'll minimize the hassle.

Thanks for your solution to my problem! I suppose I could do the same
thing with Open Office org (LInux).
