My Rooted Technology - a Meme

With Rootstech 2012 fast approaching, Jill Ball of Geniaus started this meme about technology for genealogy. She invites everyone to join in the fun.

Here are the rules:

• Technology you already use: bold face type
• Technology you would like to use or learn more about: italicize (color optional)
• Technology you don’t use, have no interest in using or no longer use: plain type
• Explain or give opinions in brackets [ ] at the end of each bullet point.

Here are my answers:

1. I have a tablet computer such as an iPad that I use for genealogy [An Android tablet that I'm still learning to use to it's fullest genealogy potential.]
