I've embraced technology for many years and love it! When the national company I worked for gave us and trained us on laptop computers in the mid90s I ran with it. I took as many courses as I could at the community college. When that company offered me an early retirement buyout package I took it, went back to college and earned a degree in Computer and Network Service Technology, that led to a 15 year job in the IT field. Getting to music I started using the Music Pad Pro for charts in 2009 then about 5 years ago started using the iPad. Recently on JerryGr's post I moved to a Pro12 tablet ( larger screen for aging eyes). Just a couple of days ago based on a question by Tony about the tablet working with the Korg I decided to configure the tablet to communicate with my Pa4x so that choosing a Songbook entry pulls up the lead sheet on the tablet and vice versa. It works well but may not work for every gig.

I have a weakness for the latest tech I love new gear, I don't buy it because it will get me more gigs. I'm stuck in a time warp too, I prefer the old standards and 50s to more contemporary music . Talent and memorization? I know mine is limited and I've tried memorization, I don't have the patience to memorize. Strange though I can play from memory a limited amount of piano solo music that learned 40 years ago, those tunes just never left me. At this point in life it's about a few gigs here and there but just as much about enjoying music.
