About Mama Tech

I'm a stay-at-home mom of one daughter, with one on the way this summer. I've been interested in technology since I was just a kid, literally! My family got a Dell desktop computer back in 1994, and let me tell you -- it had nothing!! It used Windows 3.1 (anyone know what that is??), had 128 MB hard drive space, and 4 MB of RAM. And..... it cost $2,000 on sale!!! Wow, we've come a long way since then.

I'll just let you know what devices I have at home, so that you'll know where I'm mostly going to be coming from on my posts. I have a Dell Inspiron laptop running Windows XP, so most of my software recommendations and reviews will be XP-related. I also use a Palm Treo smartphone -- a techie mama's best friend! Palms have all sorts of third-party applications that made my life sooo much easier! I use it for everything from scheduling, wake-up alarm, listening to music/podcasts, tracking fertility signs (for real!!), Bible reading, eBook reading, taking pictures, shopping lists, and on and on. I'll be highlighting a lot of my favorite softwares along the way. I'm also an Associate Writer over at the PalmAddicts blog.

I looove helping other mamas find tech solutions to make their lives easier, so if you have a question along the way, let me know!
