What do you use your Contacts/Address custom fields for?

[ackmondual]

I used to use it for misc. info like temporary numbers or addresses but lately iv'e been utilizing them systematically.

Custom 1: AIM screennames
Custom 2: Birth Days
Custom 3: Anniversaries
Custom 4: Maiden Name

Contacts on my T3 already has dedicated fields for Bdays and AIM, but I still see myself switching to a zod2 one day, so as a result, I'm making it a point to keep memos below 4KB, not use NotePad too much (which i haven't at all recently), and not use any special fields in Contacts.

I use one for account number, one for nearest metro/tube station (it can be used by the free MetrO program) and some contacts still have their birthday in one field, although I'm moving it into the dedicated field.

I use one for family names, usually spouse, sometimes children, dogs' names, etc.

I also have always used one of my custom fields for their favorite drink. This doesn't have to be alcohol necessarily, sometimes it's just "diet Coke with lemon" or whatever. It just comes in handy sometimes when I'm out because I can bring them back something and know they will like it, i.e. you don't want to come back with a Coke for someone who only drinks Pepsi. It comes from my days as a production assistant, but I find it's also very useful with friends as just a nice thing to do, to give them their favorite drink.

Mapopolis uses custom field #1 for GPS coordinates.
