[Callers] Re: Paperless Calling

I use a FileMaker database to store my dances, with slightly different versions for Contra and English. I sync it to my phone and tablet (so don’t rely on the internet). I am happy to make empty versions of the database available to anyone who wants them. However, FileMaker has gotten so expensive that I suspect this only makes sense if you already own a copy. I like having the database, for several reasons: * I don’t have to worry about losing my cards. * Making updates doesn’t require starting a new card (though cards are more flexible). * I always have it with me. I have called from the tablet, with the phone as backup, and it works fine. But I admit that I prefer to call a full dance from printed pages (I keep all my dances in a few 3-ring notebooks). I find it easier when I want to change the program on the fly, and it’s annoying when the tablet goes to sleep. If you do go with a database please keep good backups, including on media not connected to your computer, for protection against ransomware. Regards, Russell
