Go do Dell.com and click on laptops. To the far right is an icon that says "looking for Windows
If you click on that, they offer computers that have XP on them already. I have not checked into this, but the prices listed are the same as for Vista computers. You might check it out, and let us know if it is legitimate. Good luck.

MEN o pause
Oh dear, I really feel for you to have a house full of PMS'rs. My best bud and her daughter cycle at the same time!
I went into early menopause @38! My only symptom was horrible hot flashes..I mean my forehead looked like a fountain at times. Happened once in docs office, he tested for thryroid and all kind of things and came back the big M. Your doc can do an FSH level on you to tell where your at and what will work for you. I got started on HRT, slapped the patch on my butt and felt 100% better. Not for everyone, but sometimes you have to outweigh your quality of life (or lack of).
Dr. Phil's wife Robin had a great segment on treating the symptoms..may be on his web site but had some great ideas..sorry can't remember cause I'm batteling 3 teens myself at the moment...for that issue...run away from home for a night...worked wonders last month for me
Just pause to think about the logistics...
Send someone where? To how many places? Just stand there on the street corner with your box full of $2000 debit cards and say come and get it? That they could even get something of this accomplished to have them in the mail and to these people in 14 days is remarkable. I can't even imagine the chaos of trying to figure out who to hand these $2000 debit cards to without an organized process.
This was posted right here on this board from someone with relatives in San Antonio, TX,..."they have evacuees housed in shopping malls and old A&P grocery stores.
My family's clothing donations were turned down. Evacuees told them they only want money and ready for this....HAIR PRODUCTS!!! "
And this comes from someone whose husband is a member of the Houston Fire Department...
"Well...
I feel sorry for these people - they have lost everything - they have nothing. I blame their own government at least a bit for not evacuating the ones that were too poor or had no way to evacuate.
That being said, it isn't going as well here as the media makes it out to be. Anthony has been down the to the Astrodome as required by the Fire Department, and I went down on Saturday with a friend of mine.
The Astrodome holds around 50,000 people - and there aren't that many evacuees down there. There are bathroom facilities, but these people are squatting on the streets, parking lots, and lawns of places down around the astrodome and leaving behind urine and fecal matter. They are throwing trash wherever they are when they finish with it, and quite a few act like we "owe" them something. I can't tell you how many people were bitching about the MRE's that they were being served.
As high as gas prices are, I will go out of my way not to have to drive by the Astrodome (my RE's office is about 1 mile from the dome). When you stop at a stop light they come up to your car and beg - and knock on the windows. There have even been reports of some jumping in the backs of pickups and even scratching cars and trucks with knives, if you don't give them money.
I know that there are some good people out there, but there are a lot of bad ones too. There are some that were appreciative of the baby formula (breastfeeders - please don't jump on me here) and diapers and coloring books that we were handing out - and some that were bitching about the brand of diapers, the fact that we were only authorized to give out one can of formula per child and that we didn't have a certain kind of bottles. I even had people that refused to take gift cards from Grocery Stores - wanting money instead.
Last night, one of the evacuees was able to score some alcohol somewhere, got drunk and carjacked a car and ran into several parked cars - the police were able to pull him over after a 15 minute chase.
And I can't get over the smell of raw sewage in the area of town that most of the evacuees are housed. The plumbing in the toilets are working just fine - but they aren't using it. They are trashing the place.
I can't imagine what it must be like for them, having nothing but the clothes on their backs - but I think I would be more appreciative of whatever someone could do for me, instead of griping about what kind of bottles they were giving me to feed my kids with, and that the MRE's were cold.
I really have mixed emotions about the whole thing. I feel sorry for the people who couldn't leave, and got stuck in the chaos. I don't have as much sympathy for the ones who could have left, but didn't want to.
I am sure I sound like a cold, callous, b****, but I was absolutely amazed at the attitude of most of the evacuees that I was in contact with on Saturday."
A positive pause...please sm
Just wanted to share a link with anyone who could use a little positivity today...it's truly worth it

My menu says #2 is pause...
I have only been using a C-phone for a week and haven't even tried all the menu options, including this one! But that's what my menu says. If you need more info you can e-mail me. Good luck!
#2 on keypad is pause.....
just learning myself!
Pause button!
Sorry have to vent. Why is it doctors are completely incapable of using the pause button! I mean honestly and I quote. "Hold on, hold on just hold on one second" followed by mumbling to herself. "hold on for computer change, hold on for computer change, (insert 4-letter expletive beginning with the letter s) radiology isn't on this computer, hold on, hold on" and then switches sections entirely. And last but not least, "hold on I'll get you the length of time of dosage of the Vantin, started on 04/12/2008, 13, 14, 15 (insert same expletiive), 13, 14, 15,16, so for a total of 6 does of the Vantin." Bear in mind I'm also having to put up with a doctor who sounds like Fran Drescher with a head cold!!!! This doctor always does this I mean honestly I have better things to do with my time (like make money) then have a doctor have the audacity to tell me to hold on one second and listen to them curse!! Sorry had to get that off my chest.
yup, 52 here and between m-pause and wood heat
sometimes i purt near melt!!
Click on tools, AutoCorrect, and click on tab that says
AutoFormat as you type and uncheck the ordinals option.
If it's installed, click or F10 to open it, click on...sm
the little white piece of paper icon to bring up the window where you ADD your new entries to, type your abbreviation in the Keyword box, then drop down to the Text to Type box and put in what you need it to say, then click Okay. You're done! If you want to delete your entry, arrow down to it, then click on the Trash Can icon. It'll ask if you want to put it on the clipboard, say yes and hit okay. If you want to modify it, use the little hand on the piece of paper icon. I like to click on the Disk icon to save stuff once I enter it, too, as a backup. If you're working and want to enter a paragraph or a page, you'll hightlight your stuff, bring up the ADD window, copy and paste it into the Text to Type area using the commands on the bottom of that box, name it, and hit okay. To use hot keys and stuff, you'll have to read the instructions in the help file. Good luck! ..nm
Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
My preferences
I personally like Itype and MTWorld for installed platforms and Scribe for a web platform.
I HATED Intrascript and Emdat/Inscribe. Too quirky.
Go to preferences.... sm
Unclick verify target window. 1 msec, 400 strokes. Click on simulate keystrokes. This is how mine is set and it fixed the problem for me. Hope that helps. Otherwise change the delay like another poster said.
Alt + Shift will toggle the esp off for a quick pause in expanding...
Using the example given were pt expands to prothrombin time but you want to keep it as PT, you would type PT and then hit the Alt + Shift key combination, continue typing, no need to hit the key combo after PT because it's a "one-stop" fix. Hope this helps :-)
These are account preferences.
However, the company follows the BOS, first and second edition. So apparently the first edition says one, two, three, etc. (client wants that). The second edition says 1, 2, 3, etc. (client wants that). I asked if I could transcribe one way or the other for both accounts and was told "no". So I will transcribe "The 2 complaints the patient had......" or "The two complaints the patient had" depending on the account. Talk about a bouncin... I think it should be spelled out unless you are typing lab values... but that is just my opinion. BOS rules in the online profession, but in the real world (my own accounts), I stick to what looks more professional - spelling numerous 1-9 out. Once I reach 10, I type it that way. JMO. 
go to options in preferences.....
Under the operation tab there should be a setting for hot keys. Click on it, and it should come up with the next key you hit will become your hot key. Or similar. I have an older version of shorthand, so if this is not an option, go to help and look up HOT KEYS. I have mine set to F9, since my other software programs never seem to use the F9 key. Hope this helps.
Laptop preferences.......I currently have a Dell...
Hi Everyone!
For those of you who use laptops, I was just curious if you would share your brand preference. I currently have a Dell and I love it. I am thinking of getting a second laptop so my son would be able to use this one for school and I would then have one just for work. Like I said I have a Dell and love it (and will probably purchase another Dell) but before purchasing another, I want to make sure I am not missing something with another brand.
TIA.
Preferences for on-line dictionaries
Do you have a favorite on-line dictionary? I'm looking for both medical and non-medical. Thanks.
Under preferences, auto display, and make sure
there is no check mark in front of the option to use Shift plus enter to expand.
Shorthand can be set to show a preferences window. I like it

Preferences? Setting up NP with Doc signature block
Need to set up nurse practitioner dictator with Doc signature block, think I know how it should be set up but it's been awhile. Any current examples or preferences of how anyone likes to do this? Thanks.
Some sanity regarding tech and software preferences? sm
Just to pull the heck out of the other thread below :-) and, hopefully, interject "a logic" about the whole subject, if I can?....
Individual choices regarding what software to use are just that, choices. Each person can make their case for their decision(s) and others are free to accept or reject their reasoning or advice. It's that simple, really.
One person's stated choice should not necessarily be construed as a blanket indictment of someone else's choice. Either take the advice, or don't, but please take the time to research what you're using; evaluate the software on its own merits and how it fits with your needs, check out what others are saying about it and why, and, finally, whether it's worth the cost (if there is one) or the potential risk (if there is no cost).
It's really pretty simple, and shouldn't be so contentious, IMO. No? javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Don't change. I had to change back to cable. SuddenLink DSL stinks! nm

I have my suggestion window turned OFF in preferences so I don't have to pick from the list. Much

Change provider vs change to business plan
In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first. It may not be any better. If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential. They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.
Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me. We just had to wait it out. It's a downside of working at home.

I LOVE your little icon thingy!
As usual, I am contributing nothing to the conversation, but had to thank you for the smile.
Can you see the Icon in system tray..
next to your clock (right bottom corner)? Otherwise, you just installed it. Go to programs menu and run it first.
Yes, the icon is in the systems tray. nm

Poster do not insert the flame icon. (SM)
It happens when the thread has been read over 200 times.
Icon in rt lower screen, by your clock....
Looks like a keyboard and screen, very tiny, set mouse over it and it should say safely remove hardware -- click on it, and it will tell you what peripherals need to be clicked on before removing it. If your peripheral is a USB and it has been installed before -- no, I don't turn my machine off UNLESS, I need to for it to be recognized -- I have an external hard drive that I have to do that with.
Hope this helps
The icon in her posts has the symbol & color
This is most likely a query from a prospective OFFSHORE MT.
I meant to post the "angry" icon

change attitude, change life
The first thing you need to change is that defeatist attitude! I know that's hard at times like this, but that's when you need to most.
I won't go into detail, but my financial situation is also at an all-time low, we couldn't even exchange gifts., daughter in hospital twice, & no med insurance)..but then I heard about how much worse things were for others around me this season. Now I'm thankful instead!
New icon shows you what post your on. On new threads you will see a hand
with italicized print on the post you have viewed. This feature is available on all new threads, but may not appear on old posts. We hope this new feature is helpful to you. 
Are you turning the volume using the home typist icon
or your regular volume control icon on the tool bar?
I have had that problem with some whispering dictators, so I mute the program itself just for that dictator.
It's a shame if you can't use it. I get a real rhythm going and my day just flies. I don't think I can type without it now.
Go to the "My Computer" icon or Windows Explorer (sm)
And click on the C: drive. Should be a folder named InstText. Inside that is a Glossary folder. Either copy the whole folder or go inside and copy the glossaries you want, then copy to your flash drive. Then install Instant Text to the new computer, attach the flash drive and copy the glossary files to C:/InstText on the new computer.
On your start up icon tray (right lower corner) there is
an icon that looks like a green arrow pointing down. If you click once on that, your transnet status box pops back up.
