Here is some tech stuff that Albee
highly recommends and uses every day. |

Google Apps
This suite from Google includes gmail, calendar, contacts, docs, sites and more. A powerful enterprise messaging and collaboration platform that is totally hosted. Honestly, this is the really the only competition for Microsoft Exchange as far as I am concerned. It comes in 3 editions: the standard edition, which FREE as in beer, the Education edition which is free for non-profits and includes all of the features of the Premier edition ($50 per user/year). The Education edition adds advanced data migration tools, flexible email routing, and an ad-free gmail interface. Premier includes all of that plus 25GB mailboxes (instead of 7.5GB).

TechSoup.org
If you are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, you're crazy not to
get all your software and some of your hardware from TechSoup. They are
the official donation clearinghouse for Microsoft, Symantec, Adobe,
Cisco, and a number of other big names. A simple order process and
quick order turn-around means this one is a no-brainer. Can you say
licenses for MS Office 2007 for $20? Can you say Microsoft SBS 2008
Standard for $35? Check it out, people!

OpenDNS
Faster internet for free! Seriously, OpenDNS has a
really fast DNS lookup system; free yourself from the contraints of
your pokey ISP's DNS servers, which probably run on the slowest, oldest
hardware they can find. Especially if you have a smaller ISP, this is a
quick way to get a noticeable speed boost. Also on offer are protection
from "Phishing" attacks, blocking of adware sites, and filtering
services for your network.

DD-WRT Router Firmware
This aftermarket firmware for certain cheap consumer
wireless routers turns them into a full-fledged industrial strength
Linux-based firewall/router. My preferred hardware platform for DD-WRT
is the Buffalo WHR-HP-G54. This baby has a second
amplifier that allows it to have unbelievable wireless range. These two
together are an unbeatable combination.
