I can't remember the exact model, but.....
Posted By: Little Ace on 2006-08-08
In Reply to: I'm getting tired of sleeping on the couch. We bought a (sm) - (nm) AzMT
We go the one that would go into a waterbed frame (as that is what we have), but it wil also go onto a regular frame. We also got a king size(it is great. We also chose the dual chamber model (I don't think it is any more expensive) so that I can set my number and my husband can set his. We have a friend who only got the single chamber and when his wife gets in or out of bed the number isn't the same any more. So I would highly recommend the dual chamber if you share a bed. As far as the exact model number I can't remember...but with it having to fit into the waterbed frame and wanting a King there was only 1 model number to choose from and I think it was the 5000. Good luck...you will absolutely love this bed!

Which model
did you purchase? Did you get them at the Bose site? If so, they told me there is a 30-day time period in which you can return them if you are not satisfied. They are just too pricey if they don't get the job done!
Maybe it is just the particular model/brand
I have had I believe three Fantoms now (first one so heavy so bought second one years later, then ran over big screw and broke the bar on the bottom of the second one). I have the HEPA filters and have never had to do anything with them - not even change them as mine have a button that is suppose to pop up to tell you when it needs to be replaced. I have probably owned these over the past 10 years or more.
You are right, emptying the cannister can be a little messy - I do what you do and go outside, use a plastic grocery bag to empty it in (or better yet have husband do it) as I, too, have severe allergies.
If I had to choose though, I would still go bagless as I hated changing and buying the bags and once they got about half full you didn't get the suction like you do with an empty bag/cannister.
I am not familiar with the type you have where you have to clean the filter. Ugh.
I have an older model sm
Can't use it while I'm typing. If I crank the massage action up so that my back feels good, then there is too much vibration and I literally cannot focus on the monitor. I am not sure if the newer models are like this or not.
There's a quota of so many per each model for that

Well...get a late model
I would go to the different stores and website to find one that is new but last years model if you don't want Vista. They are starting to be preinstalled.
Personally, I love my Gateway and they have all american customer service and tech support. It is nice to call and talk to someone that can understand me the first time! They have been very prompt and understand that my system is important for work. I have only had one minor issue which was probably me and not the computer.
Actually, I don't know if your model of footpedal is going to work or not.

IBM model M-15 split ergonomic
I bought one of these keyboards from www.clickykeyboards.com
Fully adjustable for any typing angles like Goldtouch, but much better key feel.
Priceless keyboard that I hope to use for next 20 years.
A4tech anti-RSI model KB(s)-8
I've tried all the expensive ergonomic keyboards mentioned here in the past and never found one I liked. Back in the day, Keytronics made a great keyboard (some 15 or 20 years ago) but they aren't the same now. I've been using this A4tech anti-RSI KB(S)-8 for a couple of years and it is fantastic. I heard about it on another board and thought, how can it be that great when it's only $20? But it really is the best keyboard I've owned in 20 years. Plus you can program some of the keys to open programs or perform tasks, even keystrokes. The keyboard comes with a wrist rest, which is completely useless to me, but it comes off easily so that's not a problem.
Thanks. I was looking at the Infinity USB VE-INUSB model
Just trying to convince myself that was what I should get. It's nice to know I'm not the only one around on a Saturday night! Thanks again.
Go online and put in your make and model.....

I believe your foot pedal has to be a DVI model

Which model? Not all have lock keys. sm
I have a Logitech cordless that doesn't have lock keys. Did you try to Google your model to see if somebody else has had the same problem?
I was thinking along that line when there's no role model
Rich kids are raised by nannies, butlers, au pairs, tutors. Parents are hardly there to give them morals. They learn from the streets and the streets are pretty skanky these days.
You're welcome. You can find Model M's on eBay
I think I'd go with clickykeyboards.com for their trustworthiness and service and all. You can get some in the $35-40 range there. (Check to be sure if it has a ps/2 connector, unless you have an AT/5-pin inlet on your computer. You can buy an AT to ps/2 adaptor from them or at most office supply stores fairly easily, though.)
I think you'll be pleased. Much as I liked my NMB, I wouldn't ever buy even a vintage/used one of those since I just don't think that model and brand has much longevity, apparently.

Belkin Ergonomic, Model # F8E208
If you Google it, you will come up with tons of places to buy it from. I bought mine at Target for 30 bucks, well worth it and more.
does anyone know how to hook a Lanier model LX231(sm)
with the LX-231 adapter to the power supply and flat modem box? I'm confused as to where all the cords go. On the adapter there are three cords. One says station (that I assume goes to the actual transcription box with the key pad on it), another cord that goes to the power supply and another that says it goes to the telephone line. I'm not sure where all the cords go in relation to the modem. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? TIA
What model is the unit? I used one a long time ago..sm
However, the doctors called into it to dictate. There was a hard drive with it that was connected to phone line. I would log in on the machine and pick up the jobs to transcribe. Is it similar to that? Or is this something else? There is also a Philips call-in station that hooks to phone line, but that's only for the docs to call and dictate.
How are you using the Philips to get work from your friend, that's what I don't understand? Does the friend have the same system? Just trying to figure out the setup and how to be more helpful. I know I once tried to use the Philips call-in to re-record dictation from a microcassette and it wouldn't recognize it and just timed out. It would only accept an actual voice, and that was using landline phone, so I think they do have certain parameters set up. It might be that the Vonage isn't compatible. Maybe you could call a Philips tech support person and ask. There's a tech number in the manual and on their website.

what model/make battery backup do you use for computer? nm

Hmm. I thought Unicomp made keyboards similar to the IBM Model M
That was the old clackity clack buckling spring keyboard. You get a real IBM keyboard on ebay or clickykeyboards fairly cheap. The key markings are part of the key itself and never wear out. They are exceptionally NOISY though and you need a special USB converter to make it work with a USB connection. The Omni is a mechanical keyswitch which I think is even better than the buckling spring, just like the poster who posted about it. Those key markings never wear out either. Mechanical keyboards have a wonderful touch but they don't make very many any more. Too expensive to produce and instead we have the $10-20 dollar rubber dome "quiet" keyboards that feel like typing on a wet sponge. Some people though like that wet sponge feel but I think they are slower keyboards and harder to type on. Just a preference even though they are noiser. And for some it does not matter how spongy or squashy the keys are as long as the keyboard is quiet they are happy. Different strokes I guess.
Got floor model of chair that was perfect fit. Final mark down was $40. Went got home saw original
:P
I am looking at the exact same car!
I can get a 2006 Toyota Prius for about $24,000. That is not much more than I paid for my 2004 Ford Taurus that also accepts ethanol but where I live they don't make ethanol. :(
I have to get on a waiting list at the dealer. Also, I read too that there is a $3000 tax credit which would help to offset the price which I don't think is too bad anyway. :)
Please let us know if you get one and how you like it. :)
I'm doing the exact same as you. sm
I got out of MT for about 3 years and just recently started again part-time at the hospital so that I can put myself through college. So I'm just using and doing this as a means to the end to start all over again doing something I want to do.
Best of luck to you MTBlab.
This is my exact complaint
The looking up of addresses is ridiculous. I don't care HOW fast you type or HOW many macros and shortcuts you have, nothing will prepare you for that! The platform is user friendly where I work also. Most of the time with this company, I'm making less than $10 an hour because of this... and this job is my overtime job!
It's a small MTS and I really don't want to work for a national (from all that I hear on this board), so what does one do? How does one find the smaller companies to work for?
the exact words were
"Most are not even MTs anymore, bunch of redneck southerners mostly. Lost of dirty talk."
It it wasn't about people in the south, there would have been no need to inject term "redneck southerners." The poster could simply have said "people."
So, it seems to me YOU have the problem with reading comprehension. 
Would you share the exact name -sm
of this keyboard? I'd like to find one with wrist rests like you describe. I have one that is split, but the wrist rests are quite right. TIA.
I tried Prozac for the same exact
thing. Can't remember what its called, but when the OB/GYN gives it out, its in a pretty floral package...different package, same drug. I LOVED it. It worked nearly immediately to lighten my mood and improved my sleep. About 4 days into it, I developed complete urinary retention, which turns out to be a very common side effect. I was crushed...Now I alternate and take Lunesta every other night or so to sleep. Very mild and works great! Love that butterfly! Good luck to you!
I am going ot be 40 soon and the same exact thing!
Glad to hear it's normal. For me I think it is from always having a lot on my mind and stress can probably do it too.
Do you have the exact web address? Please em it to me. Thanks! nm

I once saw your exact symptoms on a PBS
show about these families who were sent out west to live in cabins..."Pioneer House" I think was the name of it. Anywhoo, one lady, a nurse, thought she had a blood clot in her arm because it was going numb and cold. She was on the pill too and that worried her even more. So, she saw the doctor and it turned out to be bursitis, although she didn't notice any pain! Weird, huh? But yeah, you should have someone check it out just to be on the safe side. Hope it gets better soon!
Does anyone know the exact ruling on...Please help
What is the exact HIPPA ruling on turn around for H&P? Over the years I have heard different rules. The report has to be on the chart within 24 hours of admission. What is the Transcriptionist to do if the doctor dictates it the 24th hour? Is there any leeway here?
Exact same boat for me 2 !!! nm

just had the same exact problem.
The newer version of Express Scribe 4.16 does not support dss files. She needs to go to the express scribe forums page and look for the file to download version 4.15. Once that is done. If she is running XP, go to the help and support section on her computer start menu. Run the compatibility wizard but make she she chooses no previous compatibility. This fixed mine in a flash. Then try to reload files and it hopefully should work. you can email me too if you like
I have run into the exact same thing
Where I trained (OJT training) it was always disc. The second job I had, my primary used disc and all the secondaries wanted disk. At my current job every client (so far) uses disk. It can drive you crazy learning to do something a different way for each client and trying to remember it all, switching between them all day!
This is why flexibility is key. AAMT rules don't mean squat to many doctors, and some insist on their eccentricities so THEY can tell its their own report and not someone else dictating under their name (which happens plenty, and isn't always caught). I've had many literally make up words which cannot be found in any dictionary, but they insist you put them in their reports because its their product and up to them what they want it to say.
So I'd say if you want to blame anybody for any bad habits MTs have picked up in their years of experience - point the finger straight at the clients! With effort we CAN unlearn bad habits, but who's to say the next client won't insist we learn a few more?
my exact thoughts on this..
No gas expense, type in shorts, and have the windows wide open to hear the birds singing...
I had exact experience... sm
I did fine on the test questions but the transcription was muffled and I listened to it over and over for hours and still failed that portion of the test. I was not allowed to make excuses or to retake. The test was the most in-depth I had ever run into. Anyway, I took a test for one of the companies the matchmaker was testing me for, and I'm now working for them.
Not sure your exact situation but if it were me
directly. What company is this? I live in Iowa and had a similar situation about 6 months ago with a company I'm hoping will be shut down by the end of the year!
I have the exact same problem with CS.net
XX
I am in the exact situation you are in...sm
except it isn't that I am bored with clinic. I don't have near enough work and it is just getting worse. I cannot find another job because I do not have acute care exp. Well I do but only like 2 months. I need this exp if I am to have a good job I think. At least it seems that way.
I'm going thru the same exact thing right now....
I live on a busy road AND they are building a 3-story building across the street. I just ordered a sleep mask (hope it works). Right now, I just blacken the room with black/out curtains (still not perfect, slivers of light still peek thru and I need black.
I hate ear plugs, uncomfortable and don't really work.
However, what I have found that does work is one of those sound maskers (I use waterfall sound). I also have a box fan running (if it's too cold I just face it somewhere it won't blow directly on me. These too things, along with the room-darkening curtain liners seem to do the trick pretty well. I'm hoping the mask will help some more.
I've also heard people had good luck with those air-whooshing-type sound machines. Right now I just have one of those little ones that play a variety of sounds...waterfall, rain, tropical forest, etc.
Good luck!
I had the exact same issues! sm
Maybe I'm an old dog. I started out with PRD and basically use IT the same way. I don't utilize all the bells and whistles that IT has. It really got overwhelming when I tried to use every aspect of the program. I basically just use it like the old PRD program and it works for me!
I think I'm going through this exact thing now
I've been with this current company for over a year now, and suddenly I have been having a lot of 'strange' things happening lately. The queues seem manipulated, I get jobs pulled back when I'm more than halfway through, my pay has been short, etc. They say these are all mistakes or accidents, so they're making me feel like it's all in my imagination. Can you tell me through email the name of the company he was talking about? I would really, really appreciate it just for some peace of mind that I'm not totally paranoid here.
If you use a standard keyboard you can buy an old IBM model M keyboard on ebay or clickykeyboards.co
That key printing never wear down because the letters are part of the key itself. They just don't make them that way anymore because it is too expensive to make. Some of the mechanical keyboards like Cherry have what they double shot key imprinting and the letters are part of the key itself and don't wear off. That IBM keyboard is very noisy from the type of keyswitch it has so you may not like that. Logitech and Belkin make some membrane switch keyboards that are supposed to have longer lasting key imprints. I have a logitech that has the longer lasting key imprints and it is pretty good. You have to look on the specs to find out if has the longer lasting key printing.
I have experimented so much with keyboards and have done a lot of research. Way too much info.
I think you should tell Dell that exact same thing
that you posted here ... about getting some guy named Bobby that can't even speak English! Let's not forget the hours of time you spend on the phone repeating sentences and questions over and over again.
I've had the exact same week...
I just choked down 2 more Motrin and 4 Tums. What is going on this week? I've been extremely nauseous, sore and achy, and completely exhausted and barely transcribing. I can't seem to focus on it. I just started with this company a few weeks ago, but I just hate the job. They monitor every little thing and have so many passwords on this system that I can barely get into a rhythm. Even to use Google, I have to plug in a password multiple times each shift as it times out. I'm supposed to email them when I start, stop, break for lunch, etc. I feel like Big Brother is watching me constantly. What's weird is that it's sort of backfiring, because I feel paralyzed or something! Anyway, I'm down in the gutter and don't feel well and have been living in my bath robe all week and haven't put on makeup, fixed myself up, etc... I am so discouraged. I keep trying to snap out of it, but I feel too lousy. Ugh. I need to find a better company, but after reading the boards, I don't think one exists.
Yes, exact same person in my life. sm
I have a similar situation with my mother. She is just so negative and miserable all of the time. Snide remarks always and lives in the past. It is very painful, but I have distanced myself. I love my mother, but I can not keep her close any longer. It is just too painful. She disrupts my inner peace most times.
Instead of talking to her every day, I now call once a week, and soon it will be once a month. I am one of 6, and the others call once a month or stop in to see her once a month if that, and that is just so wonderful....So, I figure, if it is okay for them than it is okay for me. It actually feels good to have my own life without negative energy feeding into it.
Always love your mother, but you do not need to have her in your daily life. That is my philosophy. Good luck.
That is the exact same thing that happened
to me at MQ.
Yes, and FEMA went through this exact scenario
for this storm with the same demographics and destruction level almost a year ago with NO and they were told they would not survive, given a list of procedures and policies to put into place, etc., and a hefty grant to initiate all the action...almost a YEAR ago. Nothing was done by NO authorities. Nothing.
He will have his share of blame for this, I'm sure.
I was told that exact same thing.
Even got it in writting. Very difficult account (marjority ESL) and changed my work types completely. However, 13 days later they sent out an e-mail (to the entire office - not just me) that if quota was not met then the benefits were gone. When I confronted them with this, I was told there was no exceptions. Needless to say, I spent approximately 8 hours of OT getting my quota (of course not paid OT, just the lines), as I also have got to have the insurance. If you have a good supervisor though, they probably will work with you.

I do not see how everyone can stick to an exact schedule.
I have been doing this for years, and in my experience MT is feast or famine. Only in instances where incoming work is totally even every day can you work a set schedule and everybody have work all the time. Some companies require you to work a scheduled shift, and for the life of me I do not know how they distribute the work evenly. I have been an employee and an IC and in both instances had to work when the work was there. I call taking the "good" work and skipping the "bad" cherry picking. The company should never allow this. Even if I had the ability to log in on someone else's account when I knew that was work meant for that person, and they could get it done in TAT, I think that is simply stealing lines. However, if a person is willing or able to work outside their "schedule", and the company is okay with this, I do not see that is taking away work from someone else. Blame whoever distributes the work, because they should have the technology in place to block your access to unauthorized accounts.
