I agree with comment #6, "Address book data is so so
important and difficult to recover if lost." Think
about the level of protection offered for e-mail messages:
Even though many are not very important, it is possible
to Undo a message deletion, AND, ON TOP OF THAT, the
deleted message is still in the "Trash", if the
preferences are set up the way most people do. Address
book data is MUCH more important than e-mail messages,
there is no "Trash" for the address book, there is no
warning, AND there is no Undo. IMHO all of the following
changes should be made:
(1) It should not be possible to delete a card by
    pressing the "Del" key on the keyboard. I mean,
    for God's sake, it's RIGHT NEXT TO THE ARROW KEYS
    on the numeric keypad). I've deleted so many cards
    accidentally it's not funny.
(2) If a card is deleted by clicking on the Delete
    button on the Address Book Toolbar or the menu item
    Edit | Delete Card, there should be a warning.
(3) If the user confirms the delete, there should be
    an Undo/Redo menu item.
(4) Perhaps even consider setting up a "Trash"
    ("Deleted Addresses"?) for the Address book.
    It could be emptied the same way as the Trash
    folder is for the mail client.
