If there are several hundred, I would recommend a professional service. If each
tape is on average 60 minutes long, you have over a week worth of dubbing to do.
My google-fu comes up with yesvideo.com. I have no experiences in this field,

Microsoft makes really good mice and keyboards. They are no IBM Model M, but I
think they have used (perhaps still use?) Keytronic to make their keyboards.
The Natural series are the only split keyboards I have ever liked, but I still
prefer the straight ones.

If you are familiar with Nagios, check out OpsView. It's Nagios but better.
Easier interface, awesome plugins (like Nagvis and MRTG built in). Good
documentation. Free and paid for versions available with support. I'm a total
convert.
One of the big things that got me was that OpsView didn't re
CudaTel looks promising. At your lunch and learn, did you find out what phones
they use? I'm guessing they recommended Polycomm. Also, the "10 max concurrent
calls," does that include internal calls, or only outgoing with no limit to
internal extension-to-extension calls?

I myself love my IBM M series, but my workmates hate how loud I am on it. So
Have a cheap dell.
I can't stand some of the new keyboards on laptops, especially ones with no
definition between the keys, very little fall to a keystroke, and

Server 2.0 and it never ran right. After looking at the different

Linux, etc...) and found that for our environment Hyper-V was both the cheap
How good is it? I admit, I haven't tried Spiceworks in a while, but I think I
saw it when it was first released, and it didn't look very impressive. Has it
improved?

I used to use the free 3Com Network Supervisor tool, but I don't know if it's

Digium is the comercial company behind the open source Asterisk software. I
believe they make most of their money selling the hardware and support, but if
you're interested in trying a free/open source voip solution, they are one of
the main players in that field.

Backups are best, but I've saved my life with SpinRite a few times before. This
is a better "disk recovery" program, there are file recovery programs that
might be better if all you want is a specific file or files.

I got my job partially because I implemented a copy of Bugzilla into a
ticketing system for our school district. We still use it and haven't found an
alternative ticketing system, yet. It has saved us a ton of paperwork, as well
as kept us very productive.
I don't know much about the current of
