    I do, and I love it. Really handy. It's the only way to go as far as I'm concerned.
    I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

            Acer Andriod. Works very good with PDF manuals. It fits neat inside my tool case for quick customer parts display and/or pricing.

              I have the Toshiba WT-200, windows 7, for doing my paperwork with, haven't lost a work order yet!!!!!!!!!!
              I also carry a Toshiba NB250 net book, windows 8, and it has all my manuals on it.
              I also have the Rogers mobile internet stick that works with both units and allows me to send and receive test emails and ping outside locations when trouble shooting a client's network.
              I just love it when I can show their own IT persons how they screwed up when nothing works. LOL

                      Well you take a jumble of characters for example s,h,i,t, you can rearrange them into words like "t.h.i.s". And that's how random characters like "this" work. I hope I've help you understand how "this" works?

                      At the unemployment office I've often heard the statement "this" character won't work... I'm not sure if "this" is any help to you though...
                      I don't really know any people by the name of "this" or how hard they work...

                        Haha, I deserve that. My "reply-to" didn't work, I guess.

                        How do you sync e-automate to Dropbox?

                            I bought a Surface RT last week and have been very impressed so far. Not only can I read service and part manuals at laptop speed, I can install firmware from it. It has all the PC stuff built in like command prompt, control panel, devices and printers, etc. and with an adapter, I hooked it directly into a machine today.
                            I never thought I would say this about a Microsoft product, but it is awesome!

                              The office is getting me one. They are stuck on getting the Ipad although Kyocera has problems with Apple products(I am told). After I suggested researching an alternative, I was told that the others crash. Any truth to that? suggestions?
