The Tech Savvy Genealogists' Meme

This particular genealogy meme circulated over a year ago, but at the time, I did not participate.  Since I am away from home and most of my genealogy files, I decided to use this "extra" time to finally post this to my own blog.  

The list should be annotated in the following manner:

 
Things you have already done or found: bold face type
Things you would like to do or find: italicize (colour optional)
Things you haven’t done or found and don’t care to: plain type
Feel free to add extra comments in brackets after each item 

Which of these apply to you?

1. Own an Android or Windows tablet or an iPad - I want an iPad BAD.  My excuse is that my laptop is so old, it has Windows Vista!  Maybe I'll be good enough that Santa will come through or I'll win the lottery and buy myself one!

Well, I've done half of them.  However, there are only eight others that I wish/need to do.  So that's not bad.    The things I wish to do all require money or time, two things I am short on these days.  Oh well, there's always retirement, right?

This list was created by Jill Ball, the Australian Genealogy blogger at the blog "Geniaus" at this link: http://geniaus.blogspot.com/ .  I actually used Heather's Wilkinson Rojo's post from September 2011 on her blog, Nutfield Genealogy, to go by.  Check out the new genealogy memes at Thomas MacEntee's GeneaBlogger website  http://www.geneabloggers.com/genealogy-memeapalooza/
