Anyone have an Aeron chair/ Worth the ?? NM
NM
After years of sitting in "cheap" chairs, I bought an Aeron chair and it was worth it!!
.
Hayseed - What's the latest on the Mira and Aeron chairs? Did you get to try out the Aeron chair
The butterfly type back support? Can't remember the exact name for it. Do you think the chairs are worth the money? Thanks.
But expensive gin and expensive cheese. I deserve it.

Expensive and if lost very expensive
Very expensive and if ever lost would cost me the account. Also I have several docs that are very strict about HIPAA compliance and I am sure that they would not go for this. One would not even let one of the front office gals take home the tapes over the weekend so I could pick up on Sunday and get some of it done over the weekend due to HIPAA so am fairly confident that they would not go for this. So we will see what they say when I tell them I am taking a week off. I do have some gals that will help cover, it is the accounts that hate to have anyone else do it. But I refuse to digital and take my laptop with me to do accounts. I have never and wll never do that while on vacation and they know it.
Aeron chair
I went online and found the closest Herman Miller distributor (which happened to be Las Vegas for me) and drove there and picked it up. I have had a few people tell me they have seen them at Costco, but I am not sure if they are authorized distributors and if buying from them voids the warranty. Because it is such a big investment, my recommendation would be to buy from your closest authorized dealer (per the web site.) The shipping is what it is - but the main thing is to get your chair from a reputable dealer. -Dana

I have one too and they are so worth it! My back used to kill me sitting for 10-12 hours a day. Now I never have that problem. I know they are expensive but if you can at all swing one, buy it! Think of it as an investment in your health.
Question about Aeron, Please (sm)
What is the chair and back actually made of? I have heard is it reinforced with a type of steel mesh which is what makes it conform to the user yet keeps it from sagging over time.
I live in a very rural area and a dealer would probably be at least 200 miles from me, would you buy one sight unseen? I am so sick of foam chairs that pack down and get so hard. I constantly have "sitting bone" numbness or worse, spasms.
Thanks for any info.
Aeron chair
I'm not Romey, but I do own an Aeron chair, and it is just as comfortable after 6 hours as when one first sits down. The chair is pricey, though - I bought mine several years ago for $600. Best money I ever spent for equipment, though. Hope this helps.
Aeron Chair
Do you dislike your Aeron chair? I have thought about buying one.
I LOVE my Aeron chair!!!!
I've had mine for a little over a year and I really love it. It's SO comfortable and really helped my back pain. I think I paid a little over $900 for mine but it was worth every penny. I'm quite overweight and I really liked the fact that I could order it in the wider size and it fits my butt a lot better than most other chairs. 
Wow, Aeron is $$$$. I googled, and I think that one is way out of my budget.
It looks like a great chair, tho.
Herman Miller Aeron Chair
It is the best chair money can buy. I have had mine now for 3 years and have never experienced any kind of back pain. In fact, in the last 2 in-house positons I have had, I have taken my Aeron chair with me - and everyone is envious! It is a lot of money up front, but money well spent.
RE Herman Miller Aeron Chair below..
I looked up the Herman Miller Aeron chair on the internet to see what all the fuss was about after reading these posts. I noticed the chair looks a lot like the one I got from Office Max. I'm not sure what the name of mine is, but it is a VERY comfortable, fully adjustable chair. I've not seen anything like it. I paid $79 as it was on sale from about $139. I noticed that this Herman Miller is much, much more expensive. Just thought some of you might like to check out Office Max's line. I love mine!
Nothing better than a Herman Miller Aeron Chair!!! nm

Aeron, Mira, Celle Chairs - Anyone Have One? (sm)
Does anyone use an Aeron, Celle, or Mira chair by Herman Miller and are they worth the price? Many thanks for any info.
Aeron chair by Herman Miller
Although it is pricey, I highly recommend the Aeron chair. I bought one a few years back when I was having back trouble and carpal tunnel issues from sitting and working 12-16 hours most every day. This chair really made a difference! It comes in different sizes for different people and will adjust practically any way you want it.
Prices will vary so do a web search for Aeron chair and look for the best price.
Aeron chair, $1000, online.
This chair was an investment in my back and comfortable, well worth the $$. Link to Ultimate Back Store below; this is where I purchased the chair from.
Herman Miller Aeron Chairs
As a side note, for the tailbone pain, I bought a coccyx cushion and I don't have the pain whatsoever anymore. It's wonderful.
Aeron chair - never would use any other. About eight years ago my hospital
bought all of the transcriptionists Herman Miller chairs and we always say we are taking them when we leave. Yea right, BUT, I would buy one even if I had to pay for it over time. It is so worth it considering we sit all day. It is made of some kind of a nylon mesh that gives to your body weight and is always comfortable. There is tons on line about it. I love my chair, I love my chair, I love my chair.
Attention: Romey - Question about Aeron chair (sm)
You had answered my previous post concerning the Aeron chair and I am really convinced that I want one. But how comfortable is the seat after several hours? I am sick of foam that packs down. I bought a molded gel cushion that looks like a honeycomb, but even this gets "hard" after a while. Would appreciate your comments.
That sure beats the $900+ I spent on my Aeron Miller chair ! - nm

Does anyone use a Herman Miller Aeron chair for work and if so, do you like/love it? nm

If one cannot afford the Herman Miller Aeron chair (wish), can someone recommend a less..sm
expensive chair that has most of the features? I am primarily interested in neck/back support with the ability to adjust as needed. I live in a fairly remote area and the only office equipment stores I have access to are Office Depot and Office Max. I have one from Office Max but it was a cheap one and doesn't offer much. I need to invest in a good one, but don't have the $900 for the Herman Miller. So, if anyone has any suggestions, I would love your advice. TIA!
They are expensive too but most of all very
dangerous. Just make sure you are careful with it because they are the main cause of deadly fires every year.......My mother-in-law uses them to supplement and it worries me so much when my kids spend the night.
and it is EXPENSIVE. nm

VERY expensive....to say the least...sm
It was a huge expense but well worth it because I believe wall-to-wall carpeting can be or become dangerous regarding medical conditions (poor breathing, asthma, mold, mildew, dirt hiding, etc.) living in a very hot climate. Also, someone very dear to my heart had died and left me some $ which I put directly into the floor, and now every time I even think about the flooring, I think about that person. It has humbled me....to say the very least.
MAN they are expensive!
Who can afford it?
Why so expensive?
And such a long wait list for the average person? Human beings should not have a price tag. What are they automobiles? Because if they are used (not infants) or have flaws they cost less you know. *Catholic Charities* adoption is expensive? What is that an oxymoron? I gave up on adoption a long time ago when I saw the celebs getting perfectly healthy newborn American children at the snap of a finger (and a fistful of cash) and I was told I may have better luck going overseas. What's next an auction with the paddles and all? I would not doubt it. It is disgusting.
Very very expensive to go through
Not sure it would be very easy to get the courts to use your service. I would do a great deal of checking into before jumping in. Good luck.
I know, they are expensive...
But they truly are WONDERFUL! The cord is about 5 feet long and while it wouldn't reach to my tower under my desk, I have them pluged into one of my speakers on my desk, so there's plenty of room that way.
EXPENSIVE
Very expensive to do work that you can do.
Not that expensive
Mine was right about $100 (Adjustable keyboard rest) and I have had it for 15+ years, and have never had carpal tunnel, very little backaches and have typed for as many as 12 to 14 hours a day. It has been well worth the money.
Expensive
It's pretty expensive, but a one-time cost would definitely be cheaper in the long run for these docs, which is why I think they are going this route.
Its not too expensive anymore, and i think...
that it's worth it. It could make the difference between a new client, and that in itself would pay for the cost of your website. I would suggest either of these services:
www.aplus.net or www.sitefever.com
The one about the expensive purse. Can't you tell? nm

It's not like it's all that expensive to prep either.
Just $5 a week dedicated to food storage adds up to a good prep supply in no time. 2 cans of tuna and a bag of rice and beans one week, powdered milk and a canned ham the next, etc. Water is free when you store it in 2-liter pop bottles, and relatively inexpensive if you buy gallon jugs at the store. An oil lamp is about $10 at WalMart, and 1 bottle of lamp oil is a couple of bucks. The DGIs (don't get its) are idiots and I absolutely abhor my tax dollars being spent on them. Of course, the elderly and infirm I begrudge nothing. I just wish they could be the only ones we had to spend money on.
I have to wonder if you live in an expensive...sm
area, perhaps a big city? I know my husband and I are planning on moving to a less expensive place to live and figure we can do much better that way. Maybe that is something you could consider.
why is insurance so expensive?
The end of November my husband had two cardiac stents put in. He was in the hospital from Wednesday late morning until Friday late morning. We had paid $300 to the hospital, which they said would be his part of the cost. The other day i received a bill from them. It indicated that after the insurance had paid, the balance was our responsibility. It very nicely noted that if we found it difficult to pay the entire amount in one payment, to please contact their office. The amount was $46,000-plus. I just laughed - oh, no problem, I'll just write a check out of my pin money. Of course, the bill wasn't really ours - the insurance hadn't paid at all - but just the fact that it was $46,000 blew me away. And, of course, that didn't include the doctor and any other ancillary personnal who will be billing the insurance company, too. Right now I am paying $460 a month for insurance for just myself. Thankfully I have recently become an employee and my insurance rate is going to be much better, but when atrocious prices such as these are charged, what can we expect other than higher insurance premiums and more and more employers handing off the cost of those premiums to the employees.
A mammogram isn't that expensive. I just had 2 and they were
$125 each, most of which I paid out of pocket due to insurance deductible. BC is usually very good about paying for preventative care, such as mammograms and Pap smears. The doctor should just submit the bill to BC for payment, this isn't something you need preapproval for.
Doc shuttle expensive?
Isn't it quite expensive to buy? Seems like you need to set up your transcriptionists as well as docs and buy software for each one, etc. Seems like you could just set up file folders on the FTP site for each account and then one for each Transcriptionist as you send out what they need to do. I don't know that much about it but one of my pysch accounts is going digital hopefully in July so needless to say I will be starting to learn some. But I used to work for a medium sized MTSO for overflow and they do not have a system like Doc Shuttle or Gear Player and just send out files to be transcribed and you send them back. If I am wrong let me know.
Isn't satellite expensive?
How much does satellite cost?

Kinesis, although it is expensive. nm

Pretty expensive, too.

Not EVERYWHERE in California is expensive
I live in a rural area near Napa. It's a LOT chaaper here (home prices and rent) than in SoCal where I moved from last summer. California is a big state, lots of places to settle down. Have to take time to really look.
A more expensive route...
is Best Buy. I called inquiring about a new computer and they all have Vista. But, they said for 130 bucks, you can have Windows XP installed. I was lucky that my son was willing to let me have his computer with XP as he had bought a new one a while back. Good luck.
Thanks, that's really long and expensive, too..nm

NASE is horribly expensive. Go through your
local yellow pages and look for insurance companies that offer health insurance and call for quotes. Call several companies. I did this and they all offered the same insurance but the premium differed as much as $200.00/mo. Celtic had the best rate, approximately $350.00 for a family of 4. I'm not sure if this covered maternity or not and we are nonsmokers with no preexisting conditions.
Fortis offers a temporary insurance, which is basically just major medical. It has a high deductible, but if you are healthy and on no chronic meds it isn't bad. This insurance is only good for 6 to 12 months, depending on what state you live in, isn't renewable, no maternity care, and will not cover preexisting conditions. Our total premium for 6 months was $403.00. You can't have a lapse of insurance for more than 45 days (I think).
Go to M-Tec...more expensive than Career Step, but...
you will be a graduate of THE TOP SCHOOL. You will have many job offers and will be able to chose the one that fits you best. You can't go wrong with M-Tec.
Andrews is also very good. Career Step, while not in the scam-school category, is just a distant, very distant, third place in the MT school race.
Thanks. I think the local is more expensive. They have been around for about 7 years but of course
they could go under trying to compete with Dell, etc. I dont know where to go to get quick service then if something would happen to this small place. Some people do well with Dell and others have problems. I am using IBM right now which is not mine but belongs to the company I work for and it seems fine. I am really not computer literate at all. I can learn any program but dont ask me about what makes it tick.
For most the mortgage/rent is the most expensive.
