A word about David Hewson. It goes almost without saying that he's not a typical technology user. This isn't to criticise his advice, nor to say that the news of his re-conversion to Windows isn't sig...
My Curio 8 review... finally
11/14/2012

iPad Mini and outlining
11/9/2012

10/24/2012
Personally I can't forget that Evernote has a record of abandoning one set of users (including me) and the development of a perfectly acceptable (for its time) Windows PIM with with some attractive fe...

[Sorry - fat finger trouble]
Yes I have. One solution is to use a commercial scanning operation. For financial reasons I decided to DIY. I use the much-praised Fujitsu Scansnap 1500M (http://scanners...

forum enhancement suggestions
