Comment: Our Troopy Set-Up

Hi John and Val.

I'll contact you seperately at your email, but will put the tablet info on the blog (a review of many, 8 months old). "Affordable" is the operative word, an I think that is where people will have very different views - and almost all recreational users will think differently to government emplyees with the budget for the best equipment (it costs so much to put a team of Tertiary educated and commonly postgrad scientists in the field in remote areas like the PJ Lands, with all logistical support that they need, that a thing like the cost of a tablet is rather secondary if a better one keeps them out there more briefly - tyres alone are a huge cost when almost all work is in such areas, and helicopter support is unbelievably expensive.....you could buy a roomful of tablets for a day's hire). I wear two hats, the one with the realistically large budget to get the clients work done most efficiently and cost-effectively, the other for my recreation where I watch the pennies like everyone else using their own cash.

Having said all that, I have now mislaid my notes on Tablets, but I have to buy one within weeks for a job, so will sort it out and post the info then.

Regards

Martin
