Thanks everyone for the comments. I am actually looking for more of a "Data Storage" solution that is regularly backed up to an external source and is "mirrored" as well. I will look into the Qtask and Google Aps, but I am essentially looking for something that can hold a bunch of excel, access, Geodatabases, high-resolution aerial imagery, tons of photos, and can all be accessed by only 8 computers through our wireless router.

If you are looking for a CRM solution... ie database to track donors - then you should get 10 free accounts from SalesForce Foundation.... best solution on the market... http://www.salesforcefoundation.org/products/donation
If not Qtask, then you might wish to check out Google App's for your domain. Email, spreadsheets, forms, word processing, scheduling/calendaring, shared contacts, and more. (All backed-up) The free edition is quite good, paid for non-profits is quite affordable.

Sarah, sent you an email. Suggested checking out Qtask.com which can do way more than local network/database, probably more secure and ultimately cheaper. Reichart can chime in if he gets this as he founded it and is the architect. Good luck regardless.
Can anyone offer assistance to a small non-profit to help get a new database system up and running? We are not sure where to start and are still running Windows XP on our computers, which seems to be a deterrent. There are only 8 workstations and our previous "server" was simply an external hard drive that was networked to all the computers. We want something with "mirrors" that will back up automatically... Any thoughts, please email Sarah at mclane@westmauiwatershed.org. Thank you so much and hope you all had a great long weekend!
By the way, if anyone decides to attend the movie tonight at MCC, say hi to me. I've been volunteered to sell popcorn. Just come up to me and say, "Hi Amber. I'm . I know you from Tech Hui." Well, hope to see someone from here there.
The anime to be shown at MauiMatsuri is "Howl's Moving Castle" - a fairly recent release by Hayao Miyazaki. I happen to love his work and think this is a very good piece. If it was the first instead of 2nd show, it would be great event for kids of all ages. Alas, I'm back on mainland for a while.
I did check out two laser cutter vendors yesterday. Shipping these beasts to Maui is expensive. Interestingly one vendor is 2x cost if they ship from US office instead of Austrian manufacturing!
The Maui Matsuri is putting on a free movie night, tomorrow night, Friday 5/14, at MCC, starting at 6:30p. The first movie is "Only the Brave". The second is an anime which I forgot the name of.
The only link I have is the one for facebook. You can always check their website if you're boycotting facebook: mauimatsuri.com
Not sure why I scheduled a client meeting 5:30 this afternoon on a crazy but good week, however enjoy the show and geek beachhead at WF. Will try and make working person Tuesday show.
