It may seem crude but I just make a new folder and then from the Contacts Pane I Ctrl A , Ctrl C, then Ctrl V into it. Reverse the procedure on the new computer and there they are. I also keep a backup handy this way.

If for some reason I am traveling without a computer I take the disk with me. I can use my contacts on any computer that has Outlook without even installing them. Generally I throw my recent mail and any files that I am currently working on as well.
