Agree get custom built. My geeks know what I

Ok, all you computer geeks, try this one
Just bought a new monitor this morning- I had to have because other 1 had messed up. I have bought a 19 inch wide TFTLCD monitor- and what that means is my words are very small and spread out too much across the page. My question to you is is there a really easy way that I would not have to rebuild my whole computer in order for this to be where I can sorta see the screen this morning without having to strain. TIA!
My son built my new computer for me
last year. He is very knowledgeable in this field and he recommended the AMD 64-bit processor as opposed to the Pentiums. He said they were more reliable. I love my new computer. We purchased a "build your own" bundle through Tiger Direct, where you choose what you want in it. Mine was slightly over $500 with the DVD burner DVD player, mother board with 64-bit processor, and 512 mb of ram. plus some other features, that I don't remember, but my son could probably tell you. He said the 63-bit processors are the wave of the future technology. Hope it helps.
My "techies" come to the house and most of the time get it fixed here. They built the computer

1. Seinfeld.
2. Wonder Years.
3. MTV before it was taken over by aliens from Uranus and turned into entertainment for the mentally retarded.

DQS already has an expander built in (sm)
so you can build upon that. It's the only one I use, can't get into those other ones! Good luck, it isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be! 
If we built and continue...
....to build corporations in Mexico, they why in the world do they keep coming over here for work?
I totally understand where you're coming from. I have had many family members and friends lose jobs they have worked at for 25+ years. It's a shame this continues to go on. Maybe our political postions should be outsourced to the American people, not the high-rollers who are put there because of WHO they know and NOT because they care about us!
Have you built up your speed yet? How did you
deal with the learning curve and still get your line count in? Thanks for posting this link!
You can have one built special for you
at any computer tech store. I ended up getting a refurbished laptop on ebay that had XP on it and got Word 2003 for only $39. I did buy a 2-year warranty on teh laptop, but even with that it was cheaper than buying a new one and having to have Vista deleated and adding XP and all the new drivers.
Yes-- I have an Adesso with a built-in touch pad
It works very well for me-- you don't have to move your hand that far to use it. It is strange at first, but once you get used to it, you will love it.
The first factory is being built here in Georgia....sm
Supposed to bring in about 2000-2500 jobs. Hopefully their quality of vehicles will improve. Time will tell!
Do they still make keyboards with a built-in
nm
I agree with a custom-built....sm
The problem with Gateway as well as IBM and probably a few others is they are proprietary, no one else can upgrade them. And unless you live in a large city with a Dell service center, for example, you are going to have to ship it whenever there's a problem or changes needed. It's a pain if you decide you need more memory, etc.
I bought a used custom built that a local computer shop had stripped down to the basics, and they have been able to upgrade consistently for me. As a result I've had this computer for 5 years through numerous platforms, etc. and it's still exactly what I need it to be. Also when I have a problem they can service it without a lot of questions because they know it's history to a T. I would have had to buy a whole new computer during this time...great if you've got the money to do it every few years, but I don't. So for me, this is the only way to go. .
he may have built it as an IC software developer, but I ...
do not believe it was ever Sheri's intention to have him take it over and represent overseas MTs and overseas MT companies. Whatever the situation, we'll never know for sure. The point is, the new administrator should advertise the website in an honest manner. For starters, he should remove the American Flag from the homepage and post the facts on the homepage that this is a website for International MTs from all countries and services being advertised are from both U.S. companies and overseas companies (having a base in one of our US States and conducting business overseas in no way makes a company American operated (maybe they have an office based in the U.S). Our U.S. citizens deserve to know where their medical records are going, and the doctor dictating their patient records deserves the same. What is the big deal about being up front and honest with straight forward advertising in an obvious area of the website for all to see?
The wireless company has built their own s/m
towers in many areas or lease buildings in strategic spots. For instance, they have one on our local water tower, the farmer down the road from me has one on his silo, just in different locales. They invested a lot of money in this because it is the only alternative out here. They do not rely on the cell phone companies at all. I know that things like trees and stuff impede it as well, as there are some people out here that can't get either unless they build their own tower that goes above the trees to put the receiver on. The company spent a lot of time scouting out locations on hills, etc. to make this work. I'm lucky that the silo is within my range.
Our regular Walmart was fine. Then they built the SM
Super Walmart. It is disgusting. The toiletries department is small, smaller than the other one in the original store. Lots of absolutely horrible clothes and I am not a snob. The quzlity of the clothes has gone done, if that is possible.
The worst part is the food section. I don't buy food there, but it is dirty, broken boxes of FOOD lying around. Few name brand items, it is truly awful. The produce section is about 2 feet wide. Damn shame.
Well that stinks, my vet just built an addition onto the "house" she was using - sm
It is now basically 2 houses connected with a wide hallway. She has 1 partner, who she has had for the last few years, and has not changed her services/prices at all. She now does have a $25 visit fee but you only have to pay it once a year, if you are regular customer she won't charge you for it everytime you come in. She does not charge for putting an pet to sleep either, as long as you are a regular (She knows us pretty well, I was there a lot with my old dog). She is very helpful to me, recently boarded our 16-y/o schipperke though she has not had her shots this year (my normal kennel would not take her since she was not current on her shots -- was due in 9/05) but as she is on her last legs I see no point in getting her vaccines. The dog is deaf and blind, having kidney failure very slowly but seems happy and my DH can't bring himself to put her to sleep yet. Our vet agrees with us on this point too.
built in shelves, cute as a button!
Love it plus it is small with a built-in desk too!
You can remove the built-in shortcut from the Insert key. sm
Go into Tools, Customize, then click the Keyboard button. Scroll down and click on All Commands in the left window. Scroll down the right window and click on the Overtype command. Click on the command in the current keys box, then click Remove.
Brand name doesnt matter as much as what is built into

Our Wal Mart moved. Built a Superstore behind Kmart!
Suprisingly, Kmart is still hanging in there and that's where I did most of my Christmas shopping. Great toy department! Much better than Wal Mart.
No lines and no waiting either and you can park pretty close to the store. 
I built my own using the auto-correct function in Word. (sm)
I removed most of the words that came with auto-correct, and replaced them with my own short macros, which consist of words, phrases, & short sentences. Little or no memorizing involved, because I made them up as I went along whenever I kept getting the same things over and over again, and got tired of typing them. For longer macros I just put them in a document file that I can copy and paste. Simple. And CHEAP!
Site was foreign built from the beginning..just listed at top only for US

They are newbies! They can built a Medical Phrase book
buy entering the answers given on the word help board into the
'Medical Phrase Index.'
They will learn.
Isn't it the goal, last not least to facilitate the job?
Why do we use calculators, computers, kitchen appliances that facilitate out work?
This is called evolution!
That's what I thought too, but I was told the built in thing was compatible with my router. nm

I believe most of the software written for MTing have a built in "cannot edit"
mechanism,so that once a document has been signed; electronically or otherwise, it cannot be altered.
Regarding Addundums, if you were not the original Transcriptionist who typed the document, most companies prefer that you bypass it in the pool, which will then be reassigned to the original transcriptionist. It's not good company policy reading and/or making an addenda to anyone else's report other than your own.
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
*70 will disable call waiting unless you are expecting a call and want it on (nm)

Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE. Which company?
On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...
Is this w/the built-in hand rest? Touch was nice, but the rest made my palms achey. Didn't
s
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?

Call the doc and get an Rx....sm
My 3 kids had hand, foot, and mouth disease and the lesions in their mouths was just awful!! When they got chicken pox about a year after that one of my kids had them in her mouth and the doctor prescribed the same mouth rinse. They swished it around and spit it out and they stayed numb for hours! They finally got rest that way and so did I!! Go luck to you and hope all is well soon.!
you may need to call the doc (sm)
cause when I had the chicken pox, the same think happened to me and they did spread to my throat and became infected. I had to take antibiotics...I remember so well cause I was 13 YO when I had them. Also, it is Maalox and Benadryl, and viscus lidocaine, but I think that is Rx only. I'd call the doc if it were my child.  give them a hug for me, I know how they feel!
I would call
your local humane society first and speak to them about the matter. First, do a little investigation while your neighbors are gone.....does the dog have fresh water and food during the day? Does he have shelter at all times from the sun or from storms? It is totally a bad thing for any animal to be kept on a chain. Look real hard and try to find out anything they are doing wrong with that poor pup. Actually just calling the humane society or animal control about his constant barking should bring them out to talk with the owners. Let us know how it goes for you. I know it has been unpleasant for you but, as you apparently realize, it is even worse for that dog. This is your chance to help him.
call first
I would contact Hotels.com first to see why they only reimbursed partial. That is ridiculous. I would be upset. How long ago did they bill your credit card? I'd call your credit card company and dispute the charge. Most credit card companies will fight it for you.
Good Luck!!
You call that a different POV?
the point is how this person has attacked the OP. They were rude and it was uncalled for. so the next time you have a concern and bring it here, we can rip you apart instead of give support and you can chalk it up to it being a different POV.
I get so SICK of some people trying to make excuses for bad behavior.
We call them
PIG NUTS up here! LOL They are good, though.
call in 1-800
MedT:
idigital through transcriptiongear.com is very very reliable. You pay for what you use. I have been with them for over four years now and you dont worry about anything.. Check out the website and give them a call.
On Call Pay..
I know someone who works as a computer tech. When she is on call for a weekend, she gets paid $3 an hour for every hour she is given "on call" duty, so basically from 5 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Monday, she is paid $3 an hour, whether she has a "trouble" call or not. When she does get a call it is usually 15-30 minutes to deal with it, and it rarely happens. I think she has a great deal. She is not a transcriptionist, but is employed by a hospital.
On Call Pay
Thanks Pam. That gives me an idea of price range.
I can see why you call yourself that!
Spheris is hiring over 1500 US MTs THIS YEAR ALONE, you idiot. It's laughingly obvious that you're a disgruntled worker or EX. LMAO I hear McDonalds is hiring. LOL
Everything in your post is bogus. Just an angry dissidence. LMAO
I will call them
I will call them once I get DSL in my area. It isn't available here yet.
Why are we getting a call
to ask if we got the packet yet when we are not supposed to get it until October? This seems really weird to me.
