Using Index Cards for Contacts

I started a collection of Index Cards a while back to keep track of contacts.
The Cards are handprinted starting with the SURNAME in the upper right hand corner.
Then the contact information and I reference the source of the contact information (genwise, ancestry id, email address, facebook profile etc.)
Then I add a bit of information regarding the contacts research
and last I add contact made with this person
genwise contact 04 July 2010 looking for Mike and Janet
example of an index card:

COOK
nameandname a genwise contact
had information on Aunt Faye and her family
genwise contact 04 July 2010 looking for Mike and Janet

then if I get replies I will add where I stored the communication
genwise messages?
yahoo mail folder "Genealogy"?
ancestry messages?

So I am one step in the 2000s and still one step in the 1900s
I am communicating and storing via modren technology

but still using my handicap of index cards.
It is just that I am getting so much information that it use to be an easy process.
But this cousin connection business is getting HUUUUUUGGGEEE.
Especially when the cousins are 7th 8th cousins....

I tried to put all the cousins on a database but I like this alot better. Maybe I should try to tackle ACCESS again and have a workable database.

More updates about our "cousins" later.
