Resources

As a bit of a technology fan, I get asked often to recommend some of the tools and devices I use.

Below are links to programs, operating systems, and other tech that are used on many, and in some cases nearly ALL, of our projects.

Some are affiliate links, designated by a *, so be aware I will receive a small payment if you purchase that technology.
