Startup S Corp, no income, only loss.

I started my s corp in feb 2008. i have spent the year developing software on my spare time, i have a full time W2 job elsewhere. and i also have an older sole prop business for 1099's that i recieve sometimes as a contractor.

1. my s corp has made no money since its still in development stage, (i do no want outside investments).
2. my s corp expence,, (laptop, large screen, server, software, travel, meals,) total about $5k for 2008, no income
3. i transfer personal funds (as loans?) to my s-corp as loans that are used to pay down the credit card balance.
4. my 1099 (sole prop), generates about $5200 per year. after web hosting and, home business, other software related exp, i pay s.e tax on approx $3k.

my questions.
1. for my s corp, im supposed to be paying myself since i work on the software? do i have to? it doesnt logically add up
2. can i pass the entire loss of the s-corp to the shareholder, me? primirally the incorporation fee's that i paid,.?
3. i plan to eventually close down the sole prop and deal with only the s-corp., which is why i am hesitant to leave the laptop exp as the s corp exp., even though i use the same laptop for my sole prop.
4. when forming the s corp, i had setup the shares for the business, on "paper" should i be balaning the books, showing that i paid for the shares? or should i leave the starting line as $0, and show my credit card payments as personal loan transfer from shareholder? so that i can pay myself for that later?

i know i am asking a lot of questios, for that i appologize., should i restate my questions individually as single posts?

Thank you.
