If you must leave SBU data (including PII and tax information) unattended in an automobile while traveling between work locations or between work and home, lock it in the trunk. If the vehicle does not have a trunk, conceal the material from plain view and secure it in some manner. When not in transit, secure data in an approved work location (office, approved and securable telework location, or approved taxpayer site in IRS-approved lockable containers).
When shipping PII through private delivery carrier, the use of UPS CampusShip is mandatory at all locations except Campus locations and offices serviced by a FMSS contract mailroom.

Box: Use an undamaged box specifically designed for shipping. Choose a box strength that is suitable for the size and weight of the contents you are shipping. For shipping smaller packages up to 10 pounds, use a small box ordered from an office supply vendor for ground shipments. Use boxes provided free of charge by the small package carrier only when time constraints require shipping via express services. For shipments over 10 pounds, the external box should be a suitable flap top, corrugated cardboard box rated with a bursting strength to support the contents. Never exceed the maximum gross weight for the box, usually printed on the box maker's certificate on the bottom flap of the box.

Teleworking personnel should adhere to the following guidelines. For bargaining unit employees, should any of the guidelines conflict with a provision of a negotiated agreement, the agreement will prevail. Individual office practices may supplement this information.
Whenever possible, conduct phone conversations in private settings or in locations that minimize the potential for eavesdropping. Contain telephone calls that include audible SBU data within a closed office environment or out of the listening range of others. See also the Cell Phone or Cordless Device section in IRM 10.5.1.6.7.1.
To properly transmit SBU data, follow the Other Forms of Transmission section and subsections in IRM 10.5.1.6.9 for field and travel, mailing, shipping, electronic, faxing, printing, and phone. This includes securely transporting SBU data to the office for shredding.

Things that might make your decision easier... Prior to Leopard large deployments with Mac OS were a bit painful. (Hell even with Leopard things really didn't get acceptable in most corporate environments until 10.5.7/10.5.8 with some authorization/authentication issues only being resolved in Snow Leopard...) I can't think of a large corporation with a large Mac base that isn't running Leopard. (Security fixes pushed most large deployments to upgrade pretty quickly...)
If you plan to chuck Tiger support, I would highly suggest making one final release that supports Tiger for both cxgames and cxoffice. And, I would also suggest you drop the price on it, with the condition that support is much more limited. 2ff7e9595c
