Thomas McEntee of Geneabloggers has suggested a meme "What I Do" so we can share the technology that, as genealogists, we use. I've read some of the various blogs that have picked this up and I must say that I think this is a good idea. While I share a lot of resources and information regarding families, I have never shared anything about the technology side of genealogy. So with that said, here is my list-
