Thank you so much for sharing all this information.\u00a0I checked out the \u201cHow-to\u201d page on the iTeam web site. You suggest two products\u00a0to handwrite notes: Notability and NoteTaker HD. Do you prefer one over the other?\u201d<br><em>iTeam responds: NoteTaker HD has more features but comes with a steeper learning curve. Notability has a less daunting user interface.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jan 4 \u201c<\/strong>Dear iTeam,&nbsp;Thanks for showing me the \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/iteam\/howto\/#passcode\">Find iPhone<\/a>\u2018 app.&nbsp;My spouse \u2018lost\u2019 their phone this AM.
