    I have an iPad and have bought the "numbers" app. It's the apple office equivalent.

    Moses had two tablets. The mapping software on his wasn't very good. He was lost for forty years.

    Wouldn't think tablets have enough storage to keep all the different variables required for an O/O.

    tablets have 16 gigs internal memory. and will hold 32 gig sd card.

    the spread sheet i use on my computer is very very small.

    storage shouldn't be a problem. just need an app. cuz i hate booting up my laptop just to enter data. i'm even looking into using bigroads.

    I love BigRoad. As for bookkeeping, there is a network based thing called Freshbooks that looks interesting but I haven't checked it out yet.

    I was looking at them the other day in Best Buy, but how would you program things like Quickbooks, Microsoft Office and so on.
    I guess you could download it, but if you already have the CD's then what. Anyway, I was wondering too

    For those, you might need to look at a Windows tablet running Windows 8.

    there is some sort of a documents to go viz or something. i think it's on my phone. haven't played around with it.

    i bought my spreadsheet from dieselboss. very nice layout.and very easy to use. am hoping to be able to use it on the tablet somehow also. requires an office program to which i use open office. it's free.
