The 2008 Economic Stimulus Act was extended provides lucrative tax incentives for business technology purchases. Tax the full tax credit this year - spread the cost on a lease! 100% writeoff of up to $250K, plus a 50% MACRS bonus in some cases.  A $30K purchase enables $10.5K in tax savings; a $75K purchase $26K -- separate from the operating benefits of your new system.

Get your piece of the ESA.  Ask us for a free tax benefits calculator -- there's still time - but you need to act now!

Anatomy of a Disaster - Entire Museum LAN down for 22 hours - lessons to learn
 
Recently my daughter celebrated her birthday party at a Bay Area museum. When we arrived to set up the party, something was wrong. The ticket desk couldn't print tickets. The gift shop was using a cigar box for a cash register. None of the exhibits were working. "Oh, yes, the network has been down since 4pm yesterday", the front desk manager told me.
 
Wow - this sounded serious. Curious, and also concerned that my daughter's party would be impacted, I volunteered my services. The next hour provided some eye-opening lessons about how design, documentation, and best practices can impact how long it takes to recover from a mystery disaster.
