There are fewthings more annoying than losing your entire Address Book that you havecarefully created over the past year or two. One way to backup your entireAddress Book is to select everyone in the Name column (or just select theimportant names), then drag that block of names to the Desktop. This creates avCard file that you can then store on another disk for safekeeping. You canalso send this vCard to someone else on a Mac; she double-clicks on it and the addressesget automatically entered in her Address Book.
