What You Should Know
Windows Vista & The Windows XP Professional Downgrade Rights?
What Does This Really Mean?

Many desktop and notebook computers are shipped with Microsoft Windows Vista Business, but come with the Downgrade Right to Microsoft Windows XP Professional included.  What this means is that the system comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Business (it includes Windows Vista media, and Windows XP Professional). 

To use the provided Windows Vista Business, or to use the Downgrade Right to Microsoft Windows XP Professional, simply start the system and follow the provided instructions.  On select systems, you may have the option of starting the system with XP, and on others it may require installation of XP.  Refer to the startup guide or other instructions for details.

Keep It Private!
3M Privacy Filters Help You Comply with Federal Confidentiality Laws
3M Privacy Computer Filters help companies comply with federal legislation requiring confidential personal information be kept confidential. 3M Privacy Computer filters can help medical facilities (i.e. hospitals, clinics, health insurance companies, etc.) comply with the Health Insurance Portability & Accessibility Act (HIPAA). The privacy filters are a simple accessory to desktop monitors, both LCD and CRT, as well as laptop computers. They darken the viewable area of the monitor screen when viewed from the side, which helps prevent the release of confidential personal information that must be protected. Similar legislation exists for those in the financial industry. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) places the same restrictions on banks, finance companies, mortgage companies and credit card companies, to name a few. They even help with PCI & SOX!

About ENERGY STAR
ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy in 2007 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 27 million cars — all while saving $16 billion on their utility bills.

ENERGY STAR Qualified Products
Products in more than 50 categories are eligible for the ENERGY STAR. They use less energy, save money, and help protect the environment. Ask for the ENERGY STAR.  Energy efficient choices can save families and businesses about a third on their energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice.  If looking for new household products, look for ones that have earned the ENERGY STAR. They meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and US Department of Energy.

What is ExpressCard™ technology?
ExpressCard technology is the name of a new standard introduced by PCMCIA in spring 2003. The ExpressCard standard delivers thinner, faster and lighter modular expansion to desktop and notebook computer users. Consumers can add hardware capabilities such as memory, wired and wireless communications cards and security devices by simply inserting these modules into their systems. All ExpressCard slots accommodate modules designed to use either Universal Serial Bus (USB*) 2.0, or the emerging PCI*Express standards.

Even The Best Hard Drives Die.  Do You Back Up?
Businesses of all sizes are witnessing an explosion in the volume of data they hold. Whether it is the result of the Internet, email, or increasingly heavy and media-rich application software, there is a massive growth in the volume of data all around. Conservative estimates place data growth at approximately 80% per year. Data is increasingly being recognized as one of the real assets of a company, and losing this data would cause severe damage to any organization.

Data loss can be very costly, particularly for organizations in the small and medium business (SMB) market where the difference between survival and closure can rest on the ability to recover from a disaster. At the very least, critical data loss will have a financial impact on companies of all sizes:

Data type Time to re-create 20 MB Cost
Sales and marketing 19 days $17,000
Accounting 21 days $19,000
Engineering 42 days $98,000

The financial impact on a company is a combination of loss of business, low productivity, legal action, and the cost of re-creating data. A study showed that the cost of re-creating just 20 MB of data can be extensive!

Your best solution, is an external drive as a backup.  You can have multiple drives, and it is much easier restore from a portable external drive, as opposed to CDs or DVDs.

Today's Backup Options
With ever increasing hard drive sizes, how do you protect your valuable data?  CDs are only 720+ MBs, and even DVDs are limited to a few Gigabytes. So what do you do to back up hundreds of Gigabytes?  Here are some great and inexpensive options:
  • High Capacity USB Thumb Drives:
    USB Thumb Drives are now available in sizes as large as 64GB (soon to be even more).  While the USB interface is somewhat slow, these make an ideal solution for their small compact size.  Thumb drives are perfect for storing in files, or other compact spaces.  While their cost per GB is somewhat high, their convenience, USB interface, size, and extremely light weight, make them a very attractive option.

  • External Hard Drives
    Now you have a wide variety of options for external hard drives.  1TB (Terabyte) External Drives are now available for less than $200.00.  External drives come in a wide range of sizes, speeds, and interfaces.  They are available with USB (the slowest), Firewire (medium speed), and SATA/eSATA (the fastest). 

    When selecting an external drive, it is important to consider how you will use the drive, and the interface limitations of your computer.  If you have a laptop that only has USB ports, this would be your best (possibly only) option.  If you have USB & Firewire, get a drive that has Firewire for the performance boost.  If your system has a SATA or eSata port, get a drive with this
