Can someone explain the difference between:

-Personal Address Books (.PAB)
-Outlook Address Books
-Contacts (within outlook)
-Windows Address Books (.WAB)

All of my E-Mail contacts are in a .PAB personal address book file that
I've been dragging around for almost a decade, through many versions of
exchange and outlook. I don't understand how the different types of
address books and contact lists "mesh" with each other and outlook, and
would appreciate a good explanation.
