At the office we use an offsite IT firm that handles all that. We have a secure server with a hardware firewall, hot swappable HD's for backup and a bunch of other stuff and they monitor it all. I don't have anything to do with any of that but I remember that the Dell server alone cost around 9K a couple of years ago when we finally had to upgrade to Win 7 enterprise.

I'm pretty savvy with all your suggestions Herb and I've been thinking of setting up a second system just for my business clients. Something else I've read about is using a second system as a hardware firewall, maybe that could be better than simply using a second system for business? The idea there is the firewall protects the main computer.

That's a good website Notes, thanks.
