Default Can't import my contacts from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2002

Alternative suggestion(s) to buying O'2003 for old machine (in summary form)

#1 - First and foremost - if you just need to "move" contacts from one
machine to another, don't suggest the "importing route"
#2 - On your machine with '2003 - create a new PST file (selecting the
'97-2002 format)
#3 - Copy your contacts to this new PST file
#4 - When done - copy the PST file to the old machine (by CD, network
connection- whatever works)
#5 - Open the PST file on the old machine that has O'XP (O'2002)
#6 - Can now copy/move these contacts to your regular folder or leave as
is - whatever the requirement is

My older home machine has 2002 and won't accept my 2003 contacts. Do I
have
to upgrade to 2003 on my home machine and if so, where is the link to the
download? I have searched all over Microsoft's site to no avail. My home
laptop is quite old so I didn't want to go to 2007. Any ideas out there?
I
have a ton of contacts that I want to get in my home pc and off my work
pc.
Thanks!
