2. Secure your software. Keep the original disks, CDs or tapes that came with your system away from your workplace - use your backup media if you have to reload computer software. If your office is damaged or destroyed, you'll be able to reload your computers with the original disks.
3. Secure your information. Make sure that your employees secure their workstations when they leave the area or go home for the day. Lock all floppy disks in cabinets or desks. If your employees take work home and transfer data onto company computers, make sure that a virus scanning program is run each time they upload data. Make regular backup tapes of your information.
4. Survey your site. Make sure that your office has enough power outlets to support all your computers and peripherals. Consider buying a Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS). If the power goes out, a UPS can keep your computers up and running long enough for you to save your data and shutdown properly. Make sure that your computers are shielded from the elements.
5. Maintain your equipment. Consider purchasing a maintenance contract for your computers, of having your more technically skilled employees perform some basic maintenance on your computers; vacuuming; virus scanning; running hard disk diagnostics.
Following these simple steps may take a few extra minutes each day, but they can go a long way towards protecting one of your most valuable business resources.

Forty-seven years ago George Orwell wrote Nineteen Eighty Four. He forecast that Big Brother would soon be able to use the power of electronics to monitor our every move.
When the future actually arrived we found instead that electronic power allowed us to monitor Big Brother (and Sister). We can now follow every move of our congressional delegation from which PACs they get their money to what they said in Congress yesterday, and how they voted.
Nowhere is this more available than on the Internet where there are innumerable political web sites that, in turn, connect to other political sites. Enjoy!

Small Business News is available through internet e-mail.... It has been available through e-mail since last summer, when I linked up with a group of local writer/publishers contributing to the Hawaii NewsList service created and coordinated by UH student, Ka Leo editor, Ryan Ozawa.
The Hawaii NewsList is a loose conglomeration of e-mail publications sent out to internet users all over the nation and world. The flagship publications of the newslist are Ryan Ozawa's Ka Upena Kukui, which is a daily synopsis of Hawaii news headlines, and Dayle Turner's Hawaii Sports News. Several other publications focusing on Hawaii are also part of the regular internet mailings.
The e-mail edition of Small Business News is published monthly (just like the regular edition) and contains most of the news and features that may be of interest to a general audience. The main goal of sending Small Business News out to the online community is to create an awareness of small business issues in Hawaii. Currently, Small Business News is the only business publication on the Hawaii Newslist.
In his most recent mailing to Newslist contributors, Ryan stated that there are nearly 900 people on the NewsList now. The out-of-state count is nearly 95% of that, and a good 12% are international subscribers. The international subscribers hail from as far away as the United Kingdom and Denmark.
To get on the Hawaii Newslist send a subscription request to listproc@hawaii.edu, with the text "SUBSCRIBE HI-NEWS-L Firstname Lastname" in the body of the message. The newslist subscription is FREE. It is a good opportunity for you to share news and information with friends, relatives and business associates both here and anywhere else in the world.
