You will remember that my main worry originally was whether I would be able to persuade committee members to change their ways and relinquish their large paper agendas. Surprisingly, I am finding that the benefits of web-based applications and paperless downloads for iPads has transformed the way our trustees and committee members are doing their business. Even the reluctant ones have now been converted. Yesterday I tested the water by asking whether Board members were missing the previous paper summary pages of grant applications – the answer was a resounding and unanimous “No”. They are all determined to move forward and are actually proud of their new slim-line agenda folders. I think that my persistence (pig-headedness) has been vindicated at last and know that the path would have been much more difficult without your vision and expertise. So a great big vote of thanks Leigh, if you don’t know how grateful we are already! Dr Jim Hodge, Maurice and Phyllis Paykel Trust

This was my first opportunity to actually have one of our apps do its automatic installation process for me. I'd always had a most-recent version already installed so never got to see it up close and personal. So slick! Mindy Rosenblatt, Forex Smart Tools

Please ask an understanding member of your family to give you a very encouraging pat on the back from me. I would do it myself if I lived a bit closer! EAF user

So user friendly. Easy. Adaptable. I'm loving it. Its not hard to undo stuff either which is great. Thank you. Karren Kerrisk, K2 and Associates

I have just come back from our inaugural committee meeting using the “paperless” technology, which to my relief went off very well - the iPads were given a big thumbs up by all members, especially those who had been on overseas trips while doing their scoring of applications. They are now very good at navigating around their iPads but we still found it was necessary to use a few printed lists to speed up progress of the meeting. We’ll get better at it I’m sure and it will be interesting to see how the Board members manage at their meeting on 1 May. There were no requests for changes or improvements, which means that you deserve yet another pat on the back. I’m sure they will also spread the word around the science community as we must be one of the very few research committees using such software so far. Dr Jim Hodge, Maurice and Phyllis Paykel Trust

Brilliant. This is a wonderful solution. Sometimes all the customer support and sales and bookkeeping makes this biz more a pain in the derrière than feels worth it ... And then there are moments like this - when working with you and sharing the joy of these moments of inspiration brings such delight. Mindy Rosenblatt, Forex Smart Tools

Thank you for your quick and wonderful work. Karren Kerrisk, K2 and Associates

This is just to report that Paperless has performed very well so far in its first big test. Our committee members have been grappling with the new requirement to study all applications using their iPads and without paper copies – so far there have been no real problems. Two members have been overseas in the last few weeks and have praised the value of being able to take all the applications with them by packing only an iPad. One has grumbled a bit about the small font size, but is coping (and refers to the originals in the repository when at his desk anyway). The committee meeting next week will be interesting and I will let you know of any specific matters which come up then and may warrant some attention. Dr Jim Hodge, Maurice and Phyllis Paykel Trust

Wooohoo - working on your platform, and with you is so easy!! Karren Kerrisk, K2 and Associates

The Oanda importer looks magnificent! I'm trying something now to trip it up, but I bet I won't be able to. Really a gorgeous piece of work - I'm going to be so happy using this, and getting it out there to folks too. Thank you big time! Mindy Rosenblatt, Forex Smart Tools
