My palm treo, MacBook Pro laptop and my VoIP account that gives me free local, interstate and international calls (8 specific countries). Can't live without any of them.

Kylie, those are all great tools. Don't you just love technology - sometimes. :-)

I just bought a Blackberry Curve and I'm already really loving it. You can put 10 email accounts on it! I also am using a contact/practice management software called "Time Matters". This software is widely used in law firms by lawyers, but since it is a software that I've been certified on for nearly 15 years, I am very comfortable with using it in my own business. It is really an excellent tool. I also use Ring Central for online faxing and am in the brave Vista world :-).

Hi Susan,

I'm using the iPhone and just love it. I have gotten totally addicted to it not to mention being able to access just about everything for my business.

I am also living in the world of Vista, so far so good. Thanks for sharing.

Does anyone use Google Talk? I've started using it recently, particularly with one client. We both really like it? Any thoughts on it versus Skype?

Hi Sue,

I have used with a one client but I don't see at as a replacement for Skype because Google requires you to set up a google account and some people don't want to do that.

I know they have to do the same with Skype but with Google you get so much more and that scares some people.

Hi Sue,

I've used skype for years and even though I already have a google account I wouldn't be comfortable using googletalk. I can see it changing from a free app to a pay app swiftly, especially with the economic hit google is taking at present.

It is also more complicated to use, less secure, and not compatible with all platforms.

I use SBS 2003 and the Okta Touch PDA.... like the iphone and blackberry... I just can't do without my Okta :)
For our PABX we use AVAYA hardware and software. I also use NCH.com.au express scribe software for transcription, HTML kit for html editing, emailbrain.com, mailworkz.com and so on.. I just love technology. There is just so much stuff we use. We use a lot of free software online so we can test and recommend to clients.

Hi everyone.

I use Express Scribe for transcription, Dreamweaver (website management), my Toshiba Satellite laptop and Skype. Love technology, especially if it streamlines my processes.

I use a variety of technology in my VA practice -- Macbook (using Bootcamp -- so I have the best of both worlds -- half of my hard drive is Mac OS and the other half is Windows Vista), Dell laptop, my iPod Touch (for twitter and checking email). The software programs I use daily are Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Editplus (for when I handcode HTML). I also use Audacity for my podcast editing and I will be trying out Garageband on my Mac soon!
