, or a different outside source in the event I can recover it if my system
crashes?

You can also search your computer for files ending in .WAB (Windows Address
Book). The one you want should have your login name as the front part off
the filename (yourname.wab). Copy this file to a floppy. Note that you may
have to set the search tool to find hidden/system files to find this file.
This assumes you have Outlook Express and do NOT have Microsoft Office
Outlook installed.
