Simple, I don't want to lose it again!

I recently "lost" 300 contacts when my old computer quit functioning. The
info could not be retrieved! I just completed entering those 300 contacts
into my new computer from an the old fashioned paper copy of the contacts and
don't wish to do it again any time soon.

I honestly don't use many of the other Outlook functions. I am not a savy
computer user and have difficulty finding the time for the learning curve!!
It should be very simple to backup the contacts on the hard drive and to a
CD! But of course it's not simple or there wouldn't be so may online
questions!

My ultimate goal is to get the contacts loaded onto a CD so that I can put
it in the safe AND have a CD I can use in a computer in another location.

I thought I had burned the contacts backup to a CD but now cannot open it.
I end up eith the "choose the program you want to open this file" I described
earlier.

I'm curious - why would you want to make a backup that includes only your
Contacts? Isn't the rest of your Outlook data important as well?
