you could slave you old hard drive into your new computer
and copy the personal address book file (*.pab) and your
personal folder file (*.pst) to a location on your new pc
hard drive. recreate new personal folders and address
directing them to the location of the copied files. I
haven't used 2003 yet, so not sure if this will work.
works from 2000 to 2002. hope it is a start anyway
