Those are the only two office stores we have within an hour drive of me. Which models in particular would you recommend??? I do need to keep the price down, whether I buy them or the doctor's office does.
I do appreciate your feedback. :)

new plan not mentioned from office ..sm
excuse if this is messed up..the message keeps getting wiped out...but I
have been hearing about this new plan for over a year now as well as changes such as two spaces between sentences, etc. yet, I have not heard the first word of it from my office and I have simply carried on as usual...you would think the office would say something, wouldn't you? Nothing in email or snailmail.
I have no idea if OfficeMax or Staples has them, but again, OM or Staples cannot help you when you
have problems. I know you need to keep the price down, but I am telling you it is worth it at least for the first couple of doctors to pay more and know exactly what you are doing, and have someone to call if you have problems. I would buy the cheapest model they have at Transcription Gear. I have moved up to the better ones, but I believe they have one that is $225. If you have one or two single doctor offices that you can start with, that would be my recommendation. I use the Phillips 9450, which is way out of your price range. I gladly pay it for all new offices because I have gone the route you are attempting to go and will NEVER go that route again. If you can't go $225-230, look at what Phillips looks like so you will understand what I mean about emulating what most physicians have been using. I am sorry if I said that I was using Panasonic in previous posts. I forget it is Phillips and not Panasonic until I go looking for information. TG are fabulous people to deal with. Good luck.
Staples also
I also found a comfy office chair at Staples. I still tuck a pillow behind my back for support. It's one of the most important things you can do for yourself when you're straining your brain for hours on end.
Staples should have them. You can go to
the website and look and get an idea.
I currently use a laptop and no mouse other than what is on the laptop. I have a keyboard tray that is fixed into position, can't push it in, so I have to stretch to use the laptop mouse and it does strain my shoulder. I need to look into getting a mouse tray too.
I haven't specifically looked for mouse trays, but was recently looking for a new keyboard tray and there are some that the mouse tray comes with it and can be hooked on either side.
I got a nice comfy one at Staples for $99 - sm
relatively cushy and has arm rests too (if you want arm rests that is). Nice grey suede-like material too. I still have to squinch around sometimes just for a change in position but I think that is unavoidable with sitting so long.
I have seen them at Walmart and Staples. Lots
of online sales right now, though I guess delivery by Christmas might be pushing it. I think Staples has free shipping right now. Actually, even local pharmacies carry Cross pen sets normally located by the watches. Good luck to you!
Silly, but I use Staples. I have a rewards
card and am always getting $$ back from them. Plus now they give you $3 coupons for each empty ink cart you return. And I shop for the ink I use when its on sale. I really save a lot - probably 50% - on brand name ink via Staples. Am a happy camper! I have tried E-bay before. In fact, I am a power seller on E-Bay, but really had bad luck with ink carts in the long run.
my daughter swears by Staples....*S*...nm
like at staples? I haven't looked
a - because I just realized this is why my shoulder is hurting and b- because I don't want a new desk and I always seem to get talked into things I don't want.
I bought an Acer monitor from Staples
It's been well over a year now... Towers are a different story, but I've had pretty good luck with e-machines from Best Buy.
I bought mine at Staples, generic brand for 9.99.

Can't carry a tune
I can NOT sing either, but after a couple of drinks I will. I refuse to go alone or duet with a guy. I have found that going up in a group helps. You can still sing, but let other people help. I used to go often, but it has been awhile. I suggest trying it just once. In a group is the safest. It really is fun.
STAPLES is now carrying Dell PCs, laptops, exclusive retail agreement. nm
Paradox
Dog doesn't carry a gun, none of his team does. sm
His story is actually very interesting. I know he is abrasive at first adn the wife is a real piece of work, but they really do try to help the people they round up. Dog is a born-again Christian, and he tries to help the people straighten their lives out, isn't in it just for the case. In fact, his own son is in jail for 20 years because of drugs, and so he has a personal motivation for getting drug dealers off the streets. I never miss the show, I find him inspiring because he found his nitch in the world to try to work for good. Unconventional, but he really sincerely tries.
Do any of you ICs out there carry your own liability insurance if
you are working for an MTSO? I do not carry this insurance and was looking for what you all can advise me. Thanks.

Carry mace or pepper spray for this. (nt)
The reason I don't tip is because I NEVER have a dime on me. I don't carry cash, ever! I don&#
debit card and it's been like that for 4 years. I use a check or credit card for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
You shouldn't have to carry dead weight.
Give her a clear outline of your expectations and say do this or I will have no choice but to find someone who will.
I guess Healthfood stores would carry these items.

Headers and Footers can carry on to the rest of the pages.

I do not carry E&O insurance, but I do have my equipment covered under my HO policy.
My office is in my home and, God forbid, there should be a fire, I'd be out of business. I have coverage for my computer, printer, fax, phones and loss of use on a separate rider. Also, should anyone injury themselves coming or going from my office while doing business with me, their injuries are covered. Perhaps this is the information you're looking for.
I carry my laptop in a case with a shoulder strap and...sm
put my keyboard and foot pedal in my rolling luggage. it has worked fine so far. I will say that the next upgrade for me will be a much lighter weight smaller laptop.
to carry on a long drawn out thread on supervisor's woes below
Why in the world if it is so awful, so stressful, so thankless and pay is not that much more (someone posted $3 dollars an hour below), why do you continue to supervise? 
Also the general tone of the supervisors is kind of like they don't really like or respect the MTs. Is that healthy? 
Some of the craft stores like Michael's carry them in funky colors, too. nm

I carry my mail in, sort it immediately, and put the junk in the trash.

Google search shows TigerDirect and belkin.com both carry this. nm

Have most people had good luck with their MQ office closing and moving to the regional office. Have
things gotten better or worse for you.
Yes, I lost mine. I upgraded the Office 2000 package to Office 2003. sm
I have over 2000 autocorrect entries and lost them all as well as my supplemental dictionary for my Stedman's spellcheck. Lots of grief!
Maybe you will be lucky and not lose anything. Good luck to you.
Might be able to rent one from an office supply or office machine repair shop

Office politics. That is why I enjoy working at home. In the office,
people are in other people business. Just mind your own business.
Can anyone suggest an office in MQ that is not run like this Amherst office. They are absolutely
pathetic. I wonder how many other MTs are in that office in the same situation.
Just DQS from my office was transferred and the rest are getting on DQS before the office closes.

Office 2003 so far, but going to Office 2007 as soon as I can. nm

you mentioned everything you could
think of except the pay. How IS the pay???
I should have mentioned...
I get paid by the report! ARGH!!!! Its weird how most MT's get paid by the line and hence love long reports while those of us paid by report LOVE short reports! We have this one new doc who never says more than a sentence or two at the most unless its a CT or MRI, in which case he says four or five sentences....love it!
Actually, as mentioned below
I have worked for MQ, twice! Before and after DQS. As I said, it's up to whomever as to how they want to count lines (divisor, footers, headers, numbers, spaces, symbols, etc). It is not DQS - It is DocQmanage, which runs DQS!
Did you see SE or IC mentioned
I didn't.
So if they don't address me I don't pay attention.
And all they addressed in that letter was Full time and Part time employees.
Looks like somebody else mentioned this above. sm
I keep an eye on it when I transcribe since I've changed it in my expander, but haven't yet run into the cc in combination with prostate, but I'm sure it'll happen.
I don't think anybody mentioned
