Google Chrome Session Manager Extension Move

If you are using this helpful extension I want to share how to move your current saved sessions to another computer. The sessions are stored in "Local Storage" which is simply SQLite local file. The default location under Vista/Windows 7 is here:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage\chrome-extension_bbcnbpafconjjigibnhbfmmgdbbkcjfi_0.localstorage
