    I would try smoke signals, but when we have the annual burn ban during this time of year when it gets so dry, then I can't connect. :lol:

    I use all 3 - phone, tablet and a couple of laptops, depending on where I am.

    Damn - I?m a teen aged girl!

    We been knowin' that! :twisted: :lol:

    I mostly use a Desktop PC, but sometimes a notebook, and occasionally a phone, though the phone app is for the auction side, and it is a pita to use it for the forums.

    I voted IPad. But sometimes I have to continually log in. Don?t have that issue with my Samsung phone.

    I use a laptop while I'm in my recliner, sort of multitasking. I watch TV while I'm perusing the Internet all the while pretending to listen to my wife's interesting conversations. I sound like Billy Bob Thornton, in the movie Sling Blade saying "Uh Huh" every few minutes. :D

    The desk top will win going away because as a group we are a bunch of crusty old farts. Old people use desk tops. The kids use their I phones. At least that is what my computer guru has told me. He said he can tell a persons general age if he knows what their favorite computer is.

    Desktop, although I have used my laptops as well as my Chrome Book. I have viewed the forum on my phone, but typing with the phone is ponderous, and is something I try to avoid.

    Mark,

    Since I spend so much time in the hospital I prefer the smart phone - and my HTC626+ is still a superior device despite being a few years old...

    I bought fairly cheaply a logictech www.logic Tech.com/K480 Bluetooth wireless compact portable keyboard that works with my desktops or laptops or tablets or Bluetooth ready TV sets and phones - Android and windows and chrome OS and apple compatible...

    It has real keys that depress and make a soft noise - it's the perfect size - you can dock your phone or tablet in a slot at the top and sit it in your lap...

    Worth looking into IMHO.

    Mike, I had no idea such a device existed. I can type, so this could be a game-changer. Thank you.

    I purchased mine fairly cheaply at target and I imagine Walmart or Amazon will have them...

    My first company phone was a blackberry with the tiny ass unusable and unreadable keyboard that required a stylus to punch characters in...

    Than I got the larger keyboard that plugged into the bottom of the blackberry doubling it's size and that helped a little...

    They have soft polypropylene bodies for keyboards that you can roll up like a newspaper and they have a projector keyboard that uses a laser to create the outline of the keyboard on a flat surface and it tracks your fingers...

    They have a split style keyboard that folds in have into a compact case...

    Some of the laptop keyboards suck - they have no travel and make no sound and provide no tactical feedback and the keys are to small and to close together and crowded...

    Mackenzie has a keyboard that is a round ball the size of a softball with a mostly standard layout except spherical in nature and she loves it - I am to old to figure that out as its to much of a paradigm shift...

    I really think the one I bought is a well thought out top shelf design and the fact that you can use it on all of your platforms makes life easier - the web TV or computer display on the TV with the wireless keyboard in your lap is a game changer and while I am certain that there are pricey models most seem targeted at students.

    I imagine with how you work and travel and even relax this would be a win win value added item for you to try out and adopt.

    I love my HTC626+ but having the keyboard makes it a mini laptop and is a game changer.

    I don't often talk up or shill for non gun products but having this I'm the hospital convinced me.

    I would be interested to see how your research goes and what you buy and the results of your field testing - I think if you did a review many here would benefit.

    I would by the logictech again - makaila bought one - and Mackenzie bought the flexible roll up model and her input ball...

    I would like to hear from other members what they think and what they have used and what they recommend...

    I hope my remarks prove helpful -.I appreciate the feedback.

    Post up some thread replies - private message me or email me - anybody here who wants to try it out or is intrigued...
