28 to 30 a week, all in all 120 then.

Yes, i COULD have done this manually in no time but weren't computers
designed to do the stupid work for us?

No. They were designed to stop us running out of stupid work.

I see several options have been mentioned already, but here is another
one to keep in mind:

Bento (the personal database application from FileMaker) provides access
to Address Book and iCal as flat databases, allowing you to do things
like sort, find, delete records, edit text, etc.

Catches: Bento costs money (but you can probably use the 30 day free
trial for a one-off task), requires Leopard or later, and it still has
some limitations as a general purpose database.

Version 3 came out late in late September 2009, so I expect version 4
will appear before the end of the year. They did a price rebate last
time if you owned a previous version and upgraded within a few months of
the new release.
