I ordered on-line with no problems. Just check and double

In Reply to: need to order a dell with XP. - is it better to talk to a person...
check before you hit the submit button. Their customer service is in India, don't know if ordering is offshored as well, in which case you'd be better off ordering on-line.

Anyone ever ordered Adipex on line? (SM)
And, if so did you have any results? I am starting Weight Watchers and exercising 3 times a week but thinking about Adipex to help control my appetite. TIA
okay I'll double check that - thank you. nm

I liked the way your looked and ordered the Ergohuman from the same line! Thanks! nm

check with the labor board. Would they pay you double
if they let you go without notice?
Please, please double check with your doctor before taking
:) NM
Yes, but didn't your line count double to make up for it? SM
I love EditScript. My only problem is that--reportedly--the profit margin for the MTSO can be very low, encouraging them to send it offshore. Does anyone else have information on this?
I'm working too, get double line count for today, but reports are
zz
not a liar, not an old person, I make waaaaay over $20/hour, probably double (CA, .15-.17 line) sm
I have two accounts of my own and do vacation coverage for a few other MTs as well as occassional work for a lawyer and a psychologist. I charge .15 for one clinic and .17 for the other clinic... clinic #2 is a husband/wife neurologist team, and the husband was a major A&& at first... with a very strong accent and every possible bad dictator habit you can imagine. I told wife I would transcribe for her, but not for him, I had plenty of business. She said charge whatever you want, have whatever turnaround time you want, just please don't leave. At the time they were at .12... so I upped them to .17. That was 5 years ago and now after having gotten to know him and his *quirks* I adore them both. I am an IC, but they give me very large gift cards for Christmas, kind of in lieu of a bonus, I guess.
Clinic #2... just this week took on another physician and I told them point blank it was too much for me to provide quick service and they may want to consider a service. They said no way, we changed the turnaround time to one week with stats as needed. I even asked them if they considered voice recognition and the office manager laughed and laughed.
I am just now putting both clinics on digital, and after the initial cost, this will increase my estimated hourly wage as it will take away my delivery time and cost, and my paper and ink printing cost and time. Though I still plan to visit each office on a regular basis for customer service and because I know my customer service is what got me here in the first place.
For the *occasional* work, the lawyer and pysch I charge $50/transcription hour.
I know you will all doubt me. But I work extremely hard, have put in my time with my education - not just learning MT but learning the ropes of running a business and how to do everything smarter, faster, and in the most efficient and sensible way possible. I also have another business I do in a totally different field! I am very blessed. Well, I also know the fields I have chosen were perfect for me, and also I've had good luck. You know what I think though? I think my sense of humor and just being as honest and open and observant as possible has made this possible.
Check out OTI, it's all by the line.

Check out copywriting law on line--sm
It appears that most of the info there is for advertisements and such, but I am sure you could find some useful info there. There is even a site where you can do your OWN copywrite, for a price of course. I did not get that far into it to see how much it cost. Check it out.
On-line canceled check shows that it was for $200.46.
But check was written for $246.00. Geeze...I was called by someone with an Indian accent this morning (Sunday!) who wanted immediately to get the cash deficient and so I had to do that. Will call tomorrow and figure out who made the mistake. Thanks for all your replies. Yes, Wells Fargo is going to be history soon.
It's 12:00 noon, time for a line check.
 
? don't know, but check on line electronics store.

"In lieu of" sorry, my name is not check line count? nm

Line check, anyone care to share where you're at this morning.
Just got a check for a supposed miscalculation of line on DQS for the last 2 years. Guess they
figure they werent going to win that lawsuit. Wonder what else they are going to do. They reduce ASR, they load the accounts with tons of MTs and we need either tons of backups or just a few and then have no work, what next.
Check your line count and what you are getting paid for. Don't trust what they SAY you are gettin
:P
I would check into a business line. My phone company offers one for around 55 dollars, with truly U
I am going to remove the LD from my home phone, and use the business line for all calls, then I will only have to pay about 35 above what I'm paying now. Not ideal, but the best deal I could find.
Check the MT jobs available. Nowadays 8 or 9 cents a line is considered good for experienced MTs.

Ordered one!
After doing some searching on-line, including local office stores, and E-bay, I decided on the Pearlcorder T1100 (hopefully built to withstand a little heavier use) from digitalfotoclub.com It seemed to be the best price for what I was looking for.
Thanks everyone for your feedback.
I just ordered one of those but thru AT&T - sm
Sprint did not have coverage where I am. It is enroute to me as I type.....probably have it in a few days, cannot wait!!!!! I just hope it works. Verizon offers it too. 595U AirCard/Wirelss modem. I wanted this one and not just the card since I can use it on my desktop and the laptop since it connects via the USB port and not a card slot (on laptop). I will post and let those interested know if/how it works when I get it. This is my last ditch effort to get high-speed where I am; told my neighbor I ordered it, she said you know now we will get DSL next month. Well we will see (doubt it though really). I'll worry about that when it happens!
I have not yet, but just ordered on of those MS - sm
Natural Multimedia keyboards that were being discussed here last week or so. Hard to find, but got one used at a place called Tech for Less, only $22. Shipping was $18 I think. This is a great site, great prices, ended up also buying a floppy drive I needed for my new laptop and a modem, each for $10 and brand new too. They have both new/new opened/and used. I will probably end up buying the external hard drive I have been putting off buying from them too, just need to do a little research first. But check it out, pretty cool stuff there.
I haven't actually ordered it yet sm
But I don't think it will be too difficult for me since I already use a split keyboard. This just means less mousing while working. I will still use my mouse when web surfing, etc. Hope you find something that works for you.
I ordered them and used them for about a week or two...sm
I had the same concern about the batteries near my brain, almost a slight buzzing when you foot is not on the pedal. I ended up calling customer service and they gladly switched them for me to the less expensive QC1 headphones. I love them.
Has anyone ordered through PCDictate?
Are they legitimate? I would like to order a foot pedal and they seemed to have the cheapest price. TIA.
I just ordered a gel cushion....
with a section cut out in the back for the coccyx...I sure hope it helps, by the end of the day my bum is tingling and my back aches. Anyway, if it is helpful I will post another note.
Has anyone ordered pet meds from Entirely Pets?
My dog has Cushings and is on $200.00/mo worth of meds and we are going broke between them and the $1000.00/year testing needed, not to mention shots, etc. We are paying about $80.00/month for one medicine. I found it at Entirely Pets for $32.00/mo - a big savings. The package they show is the exact same as what we get from the vet, the dosage and the # of pills is also the same. I read the description and it doesn't say anything about it being a generic or anything else that would raise a red flag. I checked this med at 1800PetMeds and it is $60.00/month there.
I'm going to ask my vet tomorrow what she thinks. I don't think she'll have a problem with me getting meds from another source but I'd like to hear feedback from an outside party too.
Has anyone ever ordered pet meds from 1-800-petmeds.com?? sm
I have to buy heartworm/flea meds and love the Sentinol product. It is much cheaper to buy it from petmeds, but I have never shopped there or know of any one that has. Also, do you need a "Rx" from your vet to buy the med? Thanks!
Anybody ordered computer from Ebay to get
I just bought new computer which has Vista on it. Until companies upgrade to be compatible with Vista, I need a XP computer. Just wondered if you had bought off ebay and it was a good deal. Thanks.
Have ordered it and am waiting for its arrival.
the tutorials, I think it will work for what I do.
I ordered online, but make sure to
select a computer from the "small business" section rather than the home version and that is where I found you could select XP or Vista.
Good luck!
Would you'all mind telling me where you ordered from? sm
I plan to order mine in the next month or two and understand you can order from distributors. Of course I would like the best deal on price and shipping and want to be sure I order from a reliable source and wonder where each of you ended up buying yours. Thanks for any help!
If this was something worrisome I would think they would have already ordered a core biopsy.

My boyfriend ordered me flowers last week from....sm
1-800-flowers but they dropped the ball and still haven't delivered. They sent him an e-mail at 6:30 last night stating that they wouldn't deliver as promised yesterday and we've both had a lot of problems getting through to a "human" to get this resolved. They still haven't been delivered and it's now 1:15 p.m. the day AFTER Valentine's Day. So much for ordering ahead and paying an extra "delivery guaranteed on time" fee.
tvps.com is offering same day shipping if ordered by 3p. nm

Well I've ordered mine! I'm so excited! nm

we have regular TV satellite (Directv) but had ordered - sm
WildBlue for high-speed internet. Apparently they need a totally clear view of the southern sky. I am surrouned by very tall trees. Previous owners had one of those huge TV satellite dishes on a pole (still there but hidden by the trees) and we had Dish Network before. So I am not a happy. I do plan on contacting Verizon and seeing if a petition would help, I live less than 2 miles from a tower/verizon substation so I would think that putting in DSL here (boonies) would not be a hard thing to do. I know plenty of people who want it out here too. Just add it to my list of things to do and no time to do them in.
I just bit the bullet and ordered a Sierra Wireless - sm,
AirCard 875U via AT&T. This way I can use it on both my desktop and my laptop is it connects via the USB port, not a slot. Paid 0.01 for it (normally about $300-$350) on Amazon as a new customer; the plan is $80 a month though for unlimited access. The fees for the aircard for the laptop were cheaper at $60 a month, but I'd rather have it on my desktop. Figure I have nothing to lose to try it; can cancel in 3 days of activation and it is free, within a month and all I pay is the $36 activation fee. Sprint has one too, called a 595U, but they did not have coverage here, but AT&T did, so they got my business. I should have it early next week, very excited about using it and cannot wait. Just hope it works! (will have to beat the kids away from my computer though which is the only drawback for me)
I ordered it direct from Dell ---- talk look at your - sm
foot pedal connection. Does it have pins (metal rods),if so how many, 9 or 15? There are both 9-pin and 15-pin foot pedals. If it is rectangular and slides into a rectangular slot it is USB type connection. If it is not a USB that is where you may have an issue, you would either need an adapter that works (and as I said I could not get it to work but you may not have a problem), or the right port, if a 9 or a 15 you will need that on the back of the computer. There is a 15-pin on mine but it is for the monitor. So obviously you would need 2 of these if you used a 15-pin. But you most likely either use a 9-pin or a USB type foot pedal. If you have any doubts as to what you use get on line and look at pictures of what each looks like, or ask someone you know who would be able to help you with this. I have heard too much bad about Vista. My brother is an engineer and programs building systems, etc. he told us to avoid Vista (which I am), plus it does not work with a lot of programs so until I have to upgrade, I won't, I plan to stay with XP for now.
I just ordered a cheap tower with XP on it. See inside
Vista Premium Down Grade Transactional Desktop
Inspiron 530s,Intel Pentium Conroe Dual Core Processor E5200(2.5GHz,800FSB) with 2MB cache
This was 390.00. Had to get it as Vista has deemed my laptop useless to me.
I really do think Microsoft should refund all of us for this useless program.
Good luck.
Ordered from Medical Arts Press catalog
on a previous job. They have different styles and sizes to choose from.
DH ordered it and I made him send it back unopened
I think that was 2005 edition - using 2004 which I found at the time (2004-2005) not to have a lot of the drugs and actually Google and the many, many drug sites were more helpful. Agree with Wise below.
I ordered a clamp-on one, inexpensive, from Miles Kimball or one of those places.

I just ordered a Dell off the website on credit and was approved!!! Yay! Man, I love the web!
It will be delivered by the end of the week! I'm back in business and not so limited on options. Thanks again for the advice!
Ordered a Dell with XP Sunday night, arrived here Wed morning!
This is my 3rd Dell computer over the years. My current one is more than 5 years old and is just getting a little slow and outdated, so my hubby the computer guru suggested I get a new one before you can no longer find XP. He is still getting it set up for me (I am pretty picky!). Been VERY happy with Dell. Never had a single problem with their computers. My current computer still has lots of life in it, so he is going to use it as a backup for his laptop. BTW, we went right to the Dell website and ordered. Good luck to you!
A gross line is anything on a line is a line. A line set at 65 characters means it sm
has 1-inch margins on each side. The maximum number of characters on that line would be 65 and that includes spaces. If there is 1 character on that line it is a line.
A standard 65-character line usually consists of 65 characters with spaces unless, of course, the employer does not pay for spaces and then it would be 65-characters without spaces.
They're great! Lots of sweating, jumping, dancing. Fun! I just ordered more. nm

Oops..sorry your right. I forgot that. I specifically ordered my Windows XP as Vista is compatible w
Just about every computer has Vista now but I went through Dell and found the computer I wanted with Windows XP and then went into ebay and got it $400 cheaper than what Dell was going to charge..The one downfall, it didnt have Office Word etc.. installed so I had to buy that but I still came out ahead.
Yeah I went onto the website and just ordered a Belkin adapter. It's worth a shot at this point.
I'll let you know if it works at all when I get it.
Check at a local nursery/garden center for varieties that are bred for your area, then check online

Double Wow sm
Could you please e-mail me that recipe, I promise I won't disclose it to anyone!
