It would never work without EVERYONE sticking together!
and when it comes to actually "doing", they chicken out! Only if a good majority of you do it, will it work.
transcriber sticking
My Pearlcorder T1000 is skipping every 2 seconds, both in play and rewind. tried cleaning inside with alcohol. any other ideas? TU
No, that is not the sticking point-
she is not wanting to make just 900 a month - she says she is fast and wants to make lots more than that but cannot because of how she retired- only ALLOWED to make 900 a month- She is being dishonest and that is why people are angry at her. Would you like it to be working and paying 30% in taxes and yet your next door neighbor works and gets paid in cash with no money going in in taxes- would you like that- would you consider it fair to you? Same thing here, fairness.
Keys sticking
Get a new one or else clean it out with a vacuum or one of this spray cans for keyboards. When my keys start sticking especially the spacer bar, it's usually a sign that it's ready to be replaced.
It's amazing how much junk you find between the keys. Slide a little business card through your keys and see what you come up with. LOL 
Maybe people will start sticking together
and acting as a group, instead of bicking with each other on this forum.
Congrats on sticking to your guns
I worked for a company as a so called IC. Then all of a sudden we had 4 days to decide if wanted to be an employee and if not had to incorporate. 4 days is not enough time to do that so I became employee. I think it is a control issue!! They will tell you when, how and where. It all comes down to how high do you want to jump? :) For some not high enough. When they want to start furnishing the computer, the reference materials, benefits, etc. then it is worth looking at. That to me is an employee. Until then.....
Anyway to fix a sticking foot pedal? SM
It is an IN-USB-1 foot pedal. It just recently started sticking. I will press the play button with my foot and sometimes the dictation will just flicker. Other times, the dictation will keep going. Even after I released my foot and it just goes on and on and on... I cant stop it.. I would hate to have to spend the money for a new one.... I mean if I have to I have to, but if anyone knows of a way to fix the problem, maybe clean it with something.... then please share your knowlege!!!! lol. Thanks guys!!!!
No matter anyone's reason for sticking in a
job, that's still no excuse to do a job haphazardly.
Foot pedal sticking. Is it time to get a new one? sm
I've noticed the last couple of days my footpedal is sticking a bit when I take my foot off of it. Not staying on but sort of a bump/creak and just not working smoothly. Is this a sign that it will be dying on me soon? I don't want/can't afford to be stuck without. Anyone have similar issues and how did you fix it or is it just time to invest in a new one. This one is 3 years old.
QLDB
QLDB is a wonderful book. You need to get some Post-It tabs to mark the different sections. I often used the section that listed the symptom and then listed the drugs for that problem. I had a tab for the migraine section, antidepressant section, etc. If memory serves (I do radiology now), there is no section for just antibiotics. Instead it would list some under, say, pneumonia and others under whatever bacterial problem they were supposed to treat. So I put a tab on each of those sections in case I just needed to figure out an antibiotic name but didn't know what it was for. I think there was a section for drug-type abbreviations, one for units of measure, all sorts of stuff.
I have QLDB 2007
there is not much difference between that and 2006. the big difference between 05 and 06 was the search function. 06 would not let you search starting with an asterisk for a wildcard. 07 is the same. but i just tried searching for part of a word without a wildcard and it brought up words that had that part in the middle. so it seems you do not need the asterisk at the beginning of a search.
to be honest, i rarely use my electronic references. i mostly use the net and sometimes will double check a finding with an electronic ref.
i update my references on CD for the tax credit. and as a backup.
Me, too. I get both QLDB & Saunders new

I vote for QLDB..nm

Anyone here using QLDB 2008? (sm)
Can you do wildcard searches for drugs if you don't know the first letter? For example, can you use *s*ax to search for "Fosamax"? I have QLDB 2005 and I have not upgraded because someone said you can no longer do wildcard searches without the first letter (which you can do in the 2005 version). If this is so, I won't upgrade because this is a feature I really need sometimes. I wonder if there are any other electronic drug references besides QLDB.
Thanks
i use QLDB 2007 - sm
I just tried using a wildcard search starting with *...and it would not let me. It will only let me start with a letter, then add the wildcards. Hope that helps!

sticking your neck out? i'm alone? your a friggin anonymous poster on an MT board not CIA.
How do you know I am STILL (caps lady MQ apologist strikes again?) alone? Truth be told, you don't know anything and are whistling in the dark using bunches of words that say nothing and pretending you know something, which you obviously do not. You are scary.
I like using the books and just get the QLDB and the Saunders every Feb. when they come out. nm

Anyone else really disappointed with the 2006 QLDB?
This latest version seems like a beta version. Could it be more time consuming with all the clicking, scrolling, and tabs required to click on? Even the new search feature stinks as it does not bring what you typed in to the top, it just leaves it on the bottom and you must scroll to bring it up. This one is definitely NOT built for production. Has anyone figured out how to import things from previous versions of their drug book into this one? I cannot figure it out with this version and my e-mails to them for help have gone unanswered thus far.
Is it faster than paging through a book? Yes. Is it up to the standards of their previous QLDBs? Not in my opinion and I have been very happy with the electronic version since 1999. 
QLDB 2004 & Spellchecker are taken (sm)
but I have lots of electronic drug refs, Stedman's electronic dictionary, etc., free to anyone who wants them. I'll send them media mail, glad that someone can use them, since I'm participating in the Stedman's boycott (over their new software reg policy).
It won't minimize so you can see Word in one and QLDB in another, and won't cut and paste. SM
There's nothing "wrong" with my CD, it's just that this edition (2007) doesn't have some of the functions of earlier versions. It's not something you would find out unless you bought it and installed it. If you don't care about those functions, go ahead and spend your money. But for just the wild card or fuzzy search function there are other places on the web, that do not charge, and where you can minimize and cut and paste.
This was discussed on a couple of other MT boards, with the same conclusion and disappointment as above.
You decide.

I bought the QLDB 2007 CD a couple of weeks ago...sm..
It seems fine. It's the first electronic version I've ever had so I don't have anything to compare it to. It was highly recommended over the Drake & Drake electronic version so I went with it.
OOPS! I meant QLDB 2007 (please read above)

I agree, don't like the QLDB but I do like Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book
That is one book I purchase yearly.
