I just bought a new toy. It's a virtual keyboard and I love it! I can text much easier now from my iPhone, and this little device slips easily into my purse for when I'm not at home. It weighs 5 ounces and is only 2 x 2.8 x 2.8 inches in size!
After reading reviews of different brands, I bought the AGS Laser Projection Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard
It works on an Iphone, Ipad, Smartphone and Tablets
Right now it's on sale for $39.90, regularly $169.99!
Here's some details from the Amazon page:
- Easily pair laser projection keyboard & mouse for your Iphone, Ipad, Smartphone, laptop or tablets
- For devices with bluetooth, operation systems: Windows, iOS, Android, Mac OS
- English QWERTY keyboard layout
And here's mine in action! The cord is just for charging. I set it up on a wooden TV tray and it worked just great.
If you are in Canada you have to buy it from Amazon.ca and it will cost you $59.99 Canadian. Use this link AGS Wireless Laser Projection Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard & Mouse for Iphone, Ipad, Smartphone and Tablets
Americans can purchase it for $39.99 U.S. by using this link: AGS Laser Projection Bluetooth Virtual Keyboard
I am having a lot of fun with my new toy.
Olive Tree Genealogy received this note about the Alberta Homestead Collection which I believe will be of interest to those using the online database:
Hi Viewers,
With Ancestry’s recent announcement in launching the Alberta, Canada, Homestead Records, 1870-1930 , the Alberta Genealogical Society would like viewers to
seriously compare the scope of the two indexes. Ancestry’s index is has a
minimal listing of approximately 207,000 records, whereas the Alberta
Genealogical Society has in their combined database over 520,000
entries.
The AGS all name homestead index for 1870 to post-1930, lists those
applying for land patents between 1885 and 1897; those who completed the
homesteading process and eventually obtained a title; those who applied
but abandoned their homesteads; and other individuals whose name
appears in the files for a variety of reasons—something the Library and
Archives of Canada nor Ancestry has done.
We invite everyone to view the AGS databases which have twice as many
records, and twice the knowledge over the record index at
http://www.abgenealogy.ca/alberta-homestead-indexes.
Thank you,
Lyn Meehan,
AGS Communications
