Re: Incorporating

**N* S* <T*@PlantSoup.Com>**

Jeff, my husband Don has already warned me about tax issues. He'd rather I
not have a corporation, and continue to file taxes the way we do now.

My CPA dad took me aside last week and told me that it is time to
incorporate. His concern is liability as I am collaborating with
some other folks on various projects. A corporation puts the risk on
the corporation and not on my personal assets. It is more paperwork
but, according to him, a good idea for maturing businesses. It does
cost some money so if I were you, I'd take your mother up on her
offer.

Since there's already been some hints here I'd like to hear what lap tops
work for all of you. Also, camera experience. In the past I've had a digital
Olympus Camedia that was fine for point and shoot. Right now I have a
wonderful collection of Nikor lenses and was hoping to get the D70 Digital
Nikon camera so I could continue to utilize those lenses.

I too have had a Camedia and loved what it allowed me to do. I just
upgraded to a Canon Rebel (we had lenses to fit it) and am trying to
find my way through the new technology. It is far larger than the
Olympus but takes me from 2.2 MP to 6 MP which is important at this
stage of the game.
I also work on Macs and though I've tried all the other systems, I'd
never, ever buy anything else. My desktop is a G4 Cube (no longer
available) with a flat panel monitor (mandatory!) and I have an ibook
that I purchased last year. I bought the smallest I book I could
find as I wanted it to be portable.
My husband works on a Titanium laptop that he takes between work and
home. At work, he plugs in a keyboard and mouse. At home, he works
in a corner of the living room where there is an ethernet connection
to our household router. My computer acts as the server.

Between us, we have an ibook, two Titaniums, a G4 laptop, the G4 Cube
and an IMac (the kids use that one).
The big issues I deal with are 1) cataloging images and 2) now that I
am taking larger photos, storing the images without having to
constantly burn DVDs. I find that if I try to store images on a DVD
(or a CD), I tend to file them away and never look at them again.
