I do not have a tablet and when I visited my daughter I asked for a newspaper - she replied that newspapers were outdated (I am 68) and handed me her tablet.    BOY that fly never knew what hit it

      And puncutates too. I just have to say comma, or full stop etc, whatever is needed!

So... what would you get if you said "The car came to a full stop!" ?

I have a tablet but don't particularly use it very much.

My family tree is mainly held on Family Tree Maker on my desktop - is there an FTM app I could put on the tablet?

Pheno

As far as I am aware there is not a specific FTM App as Ancestry developed their App for diffferent reasons - this may come as FTM has new owners.

However, any of the Apps currently available will import a Gedcom file and display your data from that.

If you buy a Windows tablet rather than an Android or Apple one, you can install FTM on it, subject to having a licence.  Most Windows tablets have a full version of the operating system, although microsoft do sell some which don't. ::)

LOL!  Dictating now  -  my car came to a.  ;D ;D ;D

But I can still take out the full stop with my stylus and add the word, space whatever, then carry on with the dictation.  It can be a combination of both methods.

I forgot about Stuff!  stuff.co.nz -  That's our free interactive NZ site for online news and "current affairs" website which is very comprehensive, free, and covers world, national and local news etc, and most of the other things that a newspaper provides, puzzles, horoscopes, social stuff etc.

Also breaking news and video clips!  Comment sections on articles!

Worth taking a look at, and great to keep up with the NZ news when travelling.

Take a look at www.stuff.co.nz and you will see what I mean!
