I have not been one for sending Christmas cards. Oh, it wasn’t always that way, but about 15 years ago I stopped sending them. Not because of any “bah humbug” feelings, but more of a sense of saving time and money. I just didn’t have the time to sort through my list of names and…
Recently I was asked by a local real estate agent to help her set up her new iPad 2. We loaded on all of the usual apps that most agents would want like a calculator, Pages, Walk Score, Where, AroundMe, Dragon Dictation, Google Search, Bing, Penultimate, GoodReader, Realtor.com, Trulia, and Zillow. Then we created icons…
As much as I love my iPad 2, I haven’t really adapted to the on screen “keyboard” that Apple thinks we should use to enter data! Even though I am a two fingered typist, and shouldn’t be bothered by the lack of tactile feedback, I am. I really like the idea of using a keyboard…
When the iPad 1 came out I picked one up to evaluate. I returned it to the Apple store 14 days later because it wasn’t capable of doing some of the things that I needed it to do. You can imagine the surprise on the faces of the Apple Store employees when they got my…

Last Friday (March 11th) I was in front of my computer a few minutes past midnight. Even though I am usually up fairly late, that was a new level in “lateness” for me. I was up that late so that I could go online to apple.com and order an iPad 2. Having stood in line…
I often come across interesting things while noodling around on the internet. But, most of the time they don’t warrant a full write up here. So, I just collect them in a file until I collect enough to fill an article. That day has arrived, so here are three web based services that can help…
According to a good friend, and fellow technology aficionado, I caused hell to freeze over a few weeks ago when I bought a 64 GB 3G iPad after publicly stating that I was going to sit this one out, (https://realtytechbytes.com/why-i-am-not-buying-a-ipad/). There were a couple of really good reasons for doing this, not the least of…
Are you caught up in iPad fever? Is every one you know buying one and you are feeling left out? Well, bunky, you are not alone. I was feeling the same way, even though I had made up my mind to wait it out until the second version comes out. But the constant onslaught of…
As I write this post it is Easter, so Happy Easter to those of you, like me, that celebrate it. Since this is a day that I reserve for family, this will be a very short post. A few weeks ago (https://realtytechbytes.com/idxworth-itor-not/) I asked for your help by filling out a short survey…out of over…
