Thanks Jeff. I really appreciate your help. I currently have two laptops
also. In an attemp to grow my biz, I have began to travel alot for
advertising. The problem was that I could not acquire items such as
documents from my home computer while traveling. So a friend (information
management) convinced me that SBS 2003 would be a great investment presently
and in the future. So I went to EBay and bought it, after I did some
research. It seemed like the perfect solution. Print and access documents
remotely. Great. My website will continue to be hosted on either BCentral or
Godaddy. I just wish that I could get my printers, sound and anti-virus
software to work properly. I paid alot of money for the dual ATI monitor
card. LOL. I have just downloaded the SBS 2003 guide so that I can learn
more about it. I just hope its not too late. LOL. Thanks Jeff for your
honesty.
