They are so pokey, don't waste your money. Might be okay for grandma to play games on if she has trouble with keeping up, but will never work for transcription.

I already have a lap top with Celeron and am
A couple of MTSOs advertise that they require Pentium 3's and I was wondering if I'm wasting my time applying. My new lap top has Celeron and it sure seems fast to me (I use it for DQS with no problem). I was just wondering if it really will be a liability for job hunting--I don't want to use anyone else's computer.
can anyone tell me the difference between celeron
and pentium processors besides price? i'm looking for a very inexpensive desktop for a backup/emergency basis. tia 
Celeron = SLOW.

Is a Celeron M (1.5 GHz) processor equal to a
nm
It's good enough to do the job. I've got a Celeron and have no problems.
If you want to see benchmark test results, Google for benchmark Centrino Pentium Celeron. Honestly, the naked human eye can't detect much of a difference. It's not like we're comparing 386SX/33 processors to Pentium 4/3.06 GHz. Nothing like a little processor snobbery to justify spending more money.

Not sure if they are equal in power, but the Celeron is inferior to the Pentium.
If you're getting a desktop may be no big deal since desktops are cheaper and you tend to replace then every 2 to 3 years, but if getting a laptop/notebook, definitely get the Pentium or the Centrino and not the Celeron.
11 cpl gross equals what on a 65?
nm
I do about 20, equals about 1000 lines. n/m
n/m
60 bytes equals a 60 character line. SM
If you have a document that equals 30,000 bytes you divide it by 60 to get 500 lines. If your line rate is 7 cpl, you have made approximately $35.
They used to do this years ago, before AAMT came out with the 65 character line standard. It all works out the same way eventually.
Opinions please, which work type equals $$$?
Who is making the most average rate per hour? Radiology MT's, ER/Clinic MT's or Basic 4 MT's (DS, OPS, CONS, H&P).
Thanks!
On average 1000 minutes equals how many lines?
nm
How about 1 cent a line being cheap. That equals only $10. for 1000 lines which
is really not an incentive to work either. Why not make it more like time and a half, i.e., if you normally make 10 cents a line when you would get 15. They could even offer 1/4 pay incentive so you could make an extra $25 to work a holiday but the $50 would certainly make me think more about working a day when I usually wouldn't. Yes, it would cost the company more but I'm sure more people will be working that weekend for such an "incentive."
approximately how many minutes dict. equals 1000 lines?sm
When I worked in-house, I pure typed all day (8 hrs) 1/2hr lunch..2 10-min breaks and we were applauded for 70-100 minutes (we weren't paid by line but by hour). We didn't have Expanders and such..no normals..just typed. I don't know how many lines I produced, but 100 minutes dictation was a lot of work. Now it seems everybody looks at 1000 lpd as low normal.
File sizes are saved in Kilobytes. 1,000 bytes equals 1 Kilobyte.

30 hours divided by four days equals seven-hour days. Most of us have to work pretty much every day
.
Agree, verbatim transcription equals poor quality transcription.
x
usually one "word" equals 5 characters, so it's still being paid by characters. nm
