Goldtouch?
Where did you get this Goldtouch, Midas ?? I think the Natural was the one I used before. Can you adjust the Goldtouch or does the company?
goldtouch keyboards anyone?

I did a search but came up empty handed, which I do not understand as I recall seeing Goldtouch mentioned before.


Are people generally happy with this keyboard?


more info on the Goldtouch.

While it's not to my liking, it may be good for those who aren't really partial to a very clicky, mechanical keyswitch type of feel and who don't need a totally split keyboard.  And it's fairly economical compared to many good ergo keyboards.


 


Just curious...for those of you who use a Goldtouch

I am considering purchasing a Goldtouch keyboard.  I have had a total of 4 wrist surgeries in the past and did some reading about this keyboard and would like to give it a try.


I am just curious, for those of you who use one, how long does it take to get used to using it? 


Any info you could give would be very helpful!


TIA


Goldtouch is brand name. see msg.

I always get mine on eBay. They aren't cheap but you definitely get what you pay for and they are great, in my opinion.
I think a Goldtouch? was rek'd before. Might do a net search

If you still like the Goldtouch, you can get them on ebay nm

Goldtouch Keyboard
I just got a Goldtouch keyboard with seperate number pad.  I can't get my ALT functions to work on the keyboard or the number pad.  I speaking about ALT 171 for 1/2 etc.  Does anyone have a Goldtouch answer?
Goldtouch ergonomic keyboard
Check out ebay for keyboards.  I use a Goldtouch, whic tents up in the middle, like a teepee.  Got used to it real quick.  Now it seems totally strange and uncomfortable to use a "regular" keyboard.
I have a Goldtouch and love it! You can split it sm
to whatever angle you want, and also "tent" it up.  I used to use the Microsoft Natural and loved it, but this is even better!  
Nope, unfortunately, the Goldtouch doesn't

And I don't like the key feel of the Goldtouch that much (not clicky enough for me).


Is your Lexmark anything like these?  (My dream keyboard, sigh.  Somebody who posts here has one of them, but they're in the really prohibitive price range now, something like $500+.)http://www.clickykeyboards.com/index.cfm/fa/categories.main/parentcat/12675 


If so, what a shame yours is wearing out. Maybe you could get it repaired?  http://www.pckeyboard.com/FAQs.html#Q8


Why, oh why, oh why, did they stop manufacturing good split keyboards like this?  Especially the IBMs.  I might try a Comfort ErgoFlex or ErgoMagic next time.  http://www.sforh.com/keyboards/split.html


Thanks so much for the followup.  :)  And best of luck.  I well know how hard it is to think about going to any other style (totally split, with separation, that is) of keyboard now. 


I have a Goldtouch. It has held up for two or three years already. nm

Use mine for work sometimes, but plug in my Goldtouch sm
keyboard and "real" mouse.   Obviously, too cumbersome for just "play" at a coffee house or something, but when I travel, I do pack the "good stuff" with me 
I have tried almost all the weird keyboards there are. I buy them off Ebay. GoldTouch is my
:+
Could someone help me on my Tech Help question re. Goldtouch keyboard?
Please see my question on the Technical Help board.  Thanks
I haven't tried the Kinesis, but I use a Goldtouch, and love it. sm

You can split it however far you want it, "tent" it up and do whatever you need to make it as comfortable as possible.   I have heard good things about the Kinesis (are you referring to the one with the "wells?"), but it is kinda pricey, and I think it takes awhile to get used to it.  Let me know what you think if you get one.


 


Good luck! 


Love my Goldtouch -- can spread it apart and tent it up however you like. nm

I love my Goldtouch -- can usually find them reasonably priced on eBay. nm

I vote for nobody should :-)
That's one thing I really miss about living in AZ, no DST ...... If I could figure out how to move Camelback Mountain to Texas, that's where I'd retire LOL.

I vote always
I always vote. Mandisa, Chris, Taylor, and Katharine to me are the best. I wish Kevin would go. He is sweet but to me the worst. Kellie was really bad last night I thought. My BF loves her. She is funny but dingy.
I vote for JC
Jim Carrey.  He was just totally irresible in the Fire Marshall Bill skit on In Living Color. What a doll!

My vote (for what it is worth) is NO.  Let him figure it out for himself.
I did. Everyone else please vote.

Please go there and vote, and let me tell you what I did. sm

We have a show on Sunday nights here, a call-in show that deals with all sorts of issues.  A while back there was a huge ruckus when the Oreck plant relocated to Tennessee, they said they "couldn't find qualified workers" after Katrina.  Before I moved here I guess there was a jeans plant of some sort, Levis or whatever, and it went to Mexico.  So I e-mailed the host of the show and told him he should consider doing a show on outsourcing and detailed my experience at having been outsourced, and the whole health care info going to India thing, and I did not hear back from him!  I was shocked because I interpret no response as not giving a rat's behind about where his info goes.  Maybe he didn't want to "get involved" because the hospital that ditched us is a big advertiser on the station, I don't know, but I sure thought something positive would happen, the topic would come out in the open, but as of this point it doesn't look like it will.  We all need to keep knocking on doors and rattling windows, though, or we'll be sunk.  My opinion and I'm sticking with it.


My vote is in!
Anyone who is a friend to animals is a friend of mine!
Thank you - I vote yes
For me, it's just a nice touch that says a lot, I guess. :-)

I vote for

"Striving to preserve the security and integrity of medical records in the USA"

How about that for a motto?

I'm on board!


I vote
for Asian accents.  Most difficult for me!
My vote
If this is something that appeals to you, I say go for it; however, I don't think MAs are compensated as well as they should be for their knowledge (sound familiar?).

I became an LVN in 3 semesters and an RN with an AS degree in 4. I'm job hunting for a nursing position now with not much success, even in the midst of this critical nursing shortage, so I can only imagine that the immediate outlook for medical assistants is not that bright.

Saying all this, the MAs I've worked with have been awesome, brilliant people who loved what they were doing and were HAPPY.

I think you should follow your heart.


Another vote for fall

Kaysar with 82% of the VOTE!!! Yes!!! nm

Third vote for Amphion here!
nm
Another vote for Amphion--
so far, quite good. I've had the same account since I started. Nice equipment, good tech support (which I've only needed once), and calm staff who leave you alone to work during the day. They're definitely worth considering.
Be sure you ask your senator to vote....sm
to pass the Safe ID act which was presented to congress by  Senator Markey.  This particular bill would require anyone sending things like medical or banking records out of the US to obtain consent from the consumer/patient ahead of time as well as yearly afterwards.  Educate all of your friends, neighbors and family that  HIPAA does not cover  your medical records leaving the US and therefore when they receive medical services they should request in writing that their medical records remain exclusively in the US.
All I can say at this point is....VOTE
FOR PEDRO!
Did any of you call to vote for her? If not,
I certainly know that I didn't and never do vote for anyone on American Idol.
my vote goes to Cirie-sm
I think she's played the game well. Terry is obnoxious. Danielle does not deserve it. Shane was a bit irritating but he made it interesting to watch though.
My vote goes for Taylor
I must admit the first few weeks watching him was soooo annoying, but he has grown on me and I actually enjoy watching and listening to him sing and perform. He's good and I think he deserves to win! However, I must say I was confident that Chris would win, but unfortunately not. Therefore, my vote is for Taylor!!!!

GO TAYLOR, GO!
Tonight's vote...

LET'S ALL MAKE SURE "KAT"ERINE DOES NOT WIN...VOTE FOR TAYLOR...EVEN IFYOU DON'T CARE FOR HIM, STILL VOTE FOR HIM.


I've liked Taylor from the beginning, although as I stated earlier, this whole season has been a bit of a disappointment. 


 VOTE FOR TAYLOR!!!


Exactly, we need to vote them out of office. (nm)

You got my vote! Great job!

my vote would be for Elizabeth
Vargas, the journalist. I know she has a job and is due to have a baby, but I think she would be a classy addition.


I forgot to vote
except for one time, and didn't the voting end yesterday?   I really really like them both--their personalities and their designs!
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!

I vote for satting
You would double the "t" here just as you would in matting, batting, tatting, cutting, etc.
What we CAN do is vote for changes in our government
And then we have to keep a very, very close eye on them and scrutinize every move they make. We have to become more knowledgeable and involved in how our political & judicial systems work.
Go to this site and vote!

Just by accident I found this poll by MSNBC where you can vote on the topic that they will air on one of their special segments.  One of the stories is about a woman whose job is being outsourced overseas.  Kinda fitting huh?  I voted for that topic and so far it seems to be in the lead.  If we all vote, maybe they'll put that topic on the air.  Thanks!
