You can open as many PST files in Outlook as you want. It is never a good
idea to rename PST Files in Windows Explorer. Any changes you make to PST
files should be made from within Outlook itself.
Any PST file you store on a read only medium will have to be placed back on
a hard drive and have its read only attribute removed before you can open it
in Outlook.

Thanks for the help. Can I do the following?
Copy the Office 2003 "Personal Folders(1)" (.pst) file on my office
computer
to a thumb drive; Then rename the "Personal Folders(1)" (example: "my
office
stuff") on my thumb drive. Then move the .pst file, "my office stuff"
from
the thumb drive to my home computer (Vista, Office 2008).
Will I have two .pst files that I can access? Or do I have to get rid of
the existing Personal Folders(1) .pst file that was present before I
copied
the "my office stuff" .pst file to my home computer. In other words can I
have multiple .pst files on my computer (Vista, Office 2007) that I can
access?

The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all
the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
