Introducing Jim Brear

[JimBrear]

Purchased my iPad 2 in June 2011. I am a database developer and purchased the iPad to Test Filemaker Go and the use of Tablets for recording data in the field. Use of the device over the last 6 months leads me to believe it is life changer. Beside the database use, I read the daily newpaper and magazines on it. Great for screening email while I am away from home. I can connect to my home computer using GoToMyPC, get access to all my files using Dropbox (which allows for multiple level folders which IOS will will not). My hobbies are computers and Cars (peugeot in particular. Looking forward to some interesting content on the forum.
