Syncing my contacts with computer?

[hiimhenryyy]

This will probably be an easy one, but I've never figured out how to do this. I will be purchasing a iMac soon, so I'm sure that will be a fly to sync with, but for my laptop and my home computer (Windows XP on both) how do I sync my contacts permanently. The last time I tried, the Apple support guy was in a hurry and gave me a quick how-to, I ended up with 0 contacts, and was angry.

I'm pretty savy with computers, and I hate Outlook, so I'd prefer not to use that.

Any help!?

You could sign up for a trial of Mobile Me and sync.

I've consider just buying it! I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to just try it out for a little, because I've heard downsides.

Thanks for the reply.
