These applications are more for specific industries or niches. Because they are so specific in nature, I will not cover them other than to tell you what they are and where you can find more information about them. This is not a comprehensive list, but rather a list of the applications that I have looked into that appear to be valuable for specific users. For more complete coverage of available applications, go to my Web site at http://www.TabletGuru.com and look under the Software section.
