I believe I have a computer coming that is dead.  I believe I can access the hard drive with a kit I have but because I can't run the Thunderbird program to export the address book. 

I've looked some on the Internet and can't find any information indicating that the address book has a database I could just copy.

I'm hoping that somebody might have a solution.  I will need to get all the people in the address book onto her new computer.

thank you for any suggestions.

Keep in mind I can't run the computer to export the address book.
