I am off today for a 3 day leadership development class.  We have to turn in all electronics at the door, so the posts may be slow in coming the next few days.  I’ll try to catch up on things at night as I can. One thing that someone out there may be able to…

I am a regular listener to the OnTheRun with Tablet PCs Podcast. It is one of the 25 feeds I am subscribed to in my podcatcher and it is often one of the first podcasts I listen to every Monday on the way in to work. The combination of software reviews, hardware reviews and personal…
