One of the great debates of our time is not Sammy vs. David in Van Halen or Ozzy vs. Dio in Black Sabbath. It is Evernote vs. OneNote. There are fans on both sides of the debate, and both are sure they have the best solution. I personally don’t believe in “best” applications. I think […]
Continue readingOf all the scanner manufacturers, the one that pays the most attention to software UI (in my opinion) is the folks at Doxie.
