Hi Guys,
I was just in London for Thanksgiving, and had the opportunity to check out
how easyEverything manages the security of their equipment. They obviously
have the same level of distrust in human nature that I have, because they
have constructed special desks which house 4 CPUs tipped up on their backs.
All the customer has access to is the Keyboard, Flatscreen Monitor, and the
Mouse (audio jack available on dashboard). When a technician needs access
to the machine, the front of the table folds down (the flat screen is
positioned to miss the keyboard shelf) For a picture click on

Is anyone as paranoid about their equipment as I? Instead of custom
building a similar table/cage system, does anyone have any ideas of how to
inexpensively separate man from machine? I was thinking about rackmounting
all user's machines, and just having 15 ft cables for Keyboard, Video,
Mouse, and audio leading to a circular type banquet table. These 15 foot
cables cost about $60 a pop (retail)! Can anyone think of a better system?
Thanks!
Matt

"Doube Taxation" by allowing owners to treat income as "partners." The

the owner's tax returns.

> The LLC combines many of the advantages of a corporation such as limited
personal liability and the tax advantages of a partnership. An LLC offers
limited personal liability protection to all of its owners (termed
"Members"). It is treated like a partnership or S Corporation for tax
purposes, allowing income or losses to be reported on the Members'
individual tax returns, thereby avoiding double taxation. Business entities
and individuals can be owners of an LLC.

tools, but they require professional guidance. We suggest that you discuss
the tax considerations with your lawyer, accountant or tax advisor. Then,
should you decide that an S Corporation is right for your company
