IMHO, always, even for ones with email addresses (and URLs and so on) on
them. Even those who lug PDAs around everywhere, may occasionally have
reason to give contact data to someone who doesn't.
Think also of many businesses that cater to the general public, from
bleeding-edge geeks like us, to those who can barely spell PDA and
don't know what one is. Sure, such a business has many clientele who
wouldn't make use of the email address, URL, etc. However, that's
usually not enough to justify leaving them off.
Can we have a show of hands of those people who, when giving or
receiving contact data in person, do so *only* by transmitting between
PDAs? (If you prefer, feel free to reply directly. I'll announce
results and comments received.) I'm guessing that describes far less
than a single percent of us, never mind the world.
