Me: I would get another cheap Windows netbook and use Notepad like I've done for years.
Tarting up the text inMS apps after if needed, but Notepad does the basic, record what you write and so easy to click a button to save your effort so far. The old ways used to be pretty efficient like this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Otten" <motte...@gmail.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com>; <macvisionar...@googlegroups.com> Sent: Monday, September 21, 2015 7:06 PM Subject: Taking notes for meeting, Mac or iPad? I have been asked to substitute as a minutes take her for an upcoming meeting. I used to do this on a PC laptop in MS Word with complete confidence and competence. However, that laptop is long since gone and buried. At this point, my choices are to use my eye pad with a Bluetooth keyboard and pray that I don't get bit by the Bluetooth bug in iOS 9, choosing among apps such as voice dream writer or the new notes app. Or I could borrow my husbands 11 inch MacBook air, with which I am not that familiar, and use something like text at it. Neither prospect is exciting. I'm looking for something that is going to be reliable and foolproof. As in me being a fool and screwing up their minutes. What do people think would be the easiest thing to do the most foolproof thing? This is, assuming I don't get the Bluetooth bug that wipes out my iPad? Most about using the MacBook is hitting that darned oversized touchpad and ending up somewhere where I really don't want to be and not having a clue how to get back where I need to be in the text writing app. Mary Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list.
