VIRTUAL TRANSCRIPTION
Is or has anyone worked on the platform of virtual transcription? I know it requires a different wavpedal than I currently have, but other than that I know nothing about it and have not been successful in finding out anything before I start. Can anyone give me a heads up?
Virtual School
We have tried a few different ways. My son who is currently in 5th grade was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome/high-functioning autism. The public schools cannot seem to work with him. We have done the traditional homeschooling route, which has its pros and cons. There are several virtual schools around now, public schooling, but done at home by the parents, check out www.k12.com to see the options in the different states. We attended one in Pennsylvania for 2 years and are going to be in the Florida one this year. My son loves the curriculum. Good luck!
Virtual vacation, anyone?
DH just took me to my favorite beach for a quick vacation. It is Shell Island in NC (basically Wrightsville Beach, but the end at Mason Inlet)
We arrived at Shell Island resort and discovered our room was on the 9th (top) floor. PERFECT! The dogs were staying with the in-laws in nearby Wilmington, so no worries there.
The temperature on Thursday was 82 degrees. The water was 81 degrees. People were few. We walked down to the inlet, where the surf is all disorganized with no crashing waves. The water stays shallow for a long way out, only knee deep to waist deep. I floated out there, often walking along on my hands, with the swirling water gently pushing me this way and that. Seagulls called to us. Pelicans did their gliding flight just inches above the water.
After our ocean swim we got in the pool. Then we laid out on the chaise lounge chairs to dry. The ocean breeze gently buffeted us in a lazy fashion until we were nearly dry and went in.
We went back to the room and I sorted my shells out on a table on the deck. Seagulls came by to try to entice me to throw food. Now and then, pelicans in V formation would glide right by me, so close I could have reached out and touched the feathers of the nearest member.
We went out to The Oceanic restaurant. I had the Oceanic Platter with broiled fish, fabulous scallops, shrimp, and a crab cake that rivaled those in Baltimore. It was all fabulous.
 I had a fabulous time. Vacations are good.
Virtual assistant....sm please
Does anyone know anything about virtual assistants? I met someone and she said that she makes a lot of money doing this. I am looking to supplement my income, because I just can't support myself and my family off 0.08 cpl. I find that I am working way too much just to make ends meet. I have noticed that some virtual assistants are required to do transcription as well as other clerical duties. Can anyone help me with some info on this? Does anyone know how much they make, and if it is worth my time? Thanks.
Virtual Enigma
I agree that many in this industry have a lot to be angry about, but it is usually misdirected, and few are willing to contribute any constructive resolutions. Seems easy enough to pick on new people for some reason. Why? I would have to search deeper. Second to that, the virtual environment seems to evoke anger in people, and this REALLY puzzles me. Partially, the written word "can" be taken wrong because of the lack of tone of voice or of knowing the speaker. Why do people default to reading things from a negative viewpoint though? I say knowing that, people ought to become versed in behaving in the virtual world effectively, but instead it seems the Internet often provides a forum where people feel free to unleash what they would never say in person. It's really bizarre. Concluding, I do not think there is a huge population that thinks newbies are useless. I think the Internet draws a negative audience often, an outlet for the not-so-assertive, ergo, much nastiness. Big generalizations here. A few ideas, but I think the answer runs deep and is complex. Interesting question to ponder.
Okay, what is a virtual line? nm

Use MS Virtual Machine
You can run XP on your vista machine using Microsoft Virtual PC. You can download it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/virtualpc/default.mspx
and then follow the instructions very carefully, but it does work as long as you have the original installation CD for whatever other operating system, in your case XP Home, you need. I have not tested some of the proprietary transcription platforms on it yet, but it works well for my needs so far.

Virtual Line Count
The most commonly accepted format AFIK is counting total characters AND spaces, then dividing by 65. This creates a "virtual line count" with each line being 65 characters in length.
Oh, please. Tinks hides behind her virtual
water coolers and lobs virtual spit balls while hiding. A little different than a man in a suit having the hutzpah to say something. Not a good analogy. You admire her? Ha, must be lots of room to hide behind her and that water cooler. Bahahahahaha....yup, all offices need you guys, or life at work might just be pleasant! 
Virtual Learning Center MT Course
Has anyone done this? It looks good....but I need to know before I spend the money.
Thanks.
I do virtual call center work and was having sm
trouble with people knocking and calling me interrupting my work. They were always asking for dumb things! (I'm single and this is our only income.)
The more time for homeschooling was a surprise!
We have been to the park more too. He is getting to bed by 8:30 (before it was Always after 10 no matter what I did) and I'm getting more sleep too.
Thank you for the help and advice. :)
In response to your query, a virtual line is
Virtual Line w/ Personal Ring - $3.00/mo.
Virtual Line With Personal Ring allows you to assign up to 3 directory numbers to the same equipment and telephone line. Each number has a distinctive ring so you know which number is receiving a call. If 1of the numbers is being used, the other number(s) will appear busy to callers. If you subscribe to Call Waiting, each number has a distinctive call waiting tone to identify which number is receiving a call.
How about starting a virtual assistant business? (sm)
You could do all kinds of stuff (do a Google search under virtual assistant, there are some webpages that explain stuff). U-Haul I believe also hires people to do phone customer service from home. If you look on guru . com they have people who advertise for odd jobs and lots of them are virtual assistant kind of stuff.
Just some ideas. You could also do daycare, pampered chef, that kind of stuff. :)

an alligator -
which is notoriously hungry - always wants to eat the larger number.
3 < 8 Alligator wants to eat the 8, so 3 is less than 8
5 > 2 Alligator wants to eat the 5, so 5 is greater than 2
Going by memory, isn't it
#1 (repeat the 1 as necessary) and #2 (repeat the 2 as necessary) for speed, and maybe #7 and #8 to adjust your backup or something?

Not enough memory....nm

ROFL! Thanks for the memory.
It was horrible at my last job. The supervisor told us to never, ever touch the thermostat. She'd sit in her office with a heating vent and get too hot, so she'd turn the heat down. My cubicle was by the windows in the winter with subzero temperatures. I was so cold that I had on my winter coat, gloves and a blanket. Then in the summertime, it was too hot with the sun reflecting through the windows. I used to climb up on my desk and change the thermostat anyway. I loved ticking that woman off because she was such a shrew. She was firing any employee who had more than 10 years of service because they were making too much money. She could hire college grads with more technical skills at lower wages. So much for not discriminating against people for their age. The things she wrote them up for were asinine.
well, he did say he has diminished memory!
that's a memory buster
Off topic, but cute.
This was around the late 1980s ... my oldest was around 8 or 9 years of age. My parents, (now ex-) husband, and I were playing Trivial Pursuit. It was the Entertainment category. My daughter wanted to read the next question (about the TV show "Bonanza") and instead of saying Virginia she said vagina.
Pause and then four adults became unglued. And my daughter is just sitting there looking totally baffled ("What'd I say?)
"I'll explain it in about 10 years, sweetheart."
and if you don't have a good memory?
how will you remember all of these abbreviations?
SmarType, Instant Text, Shorthand, ShortCut, and so forth all require some sort of memory retention. That's a fact. And using the Keystrokes book (which I have) doesn't help either. You can use all of the systems you want (including the abcz system), but when you're dealing with overlapping phrases that use the same letters, it STILL boils down to remembering things.
If your memory is not good, you're up that well-known creek. 
You can upgrade memory. 512 RAM is
better, 256 would be sufficient though. In the car you would use the foot pedal same as at home. Put it on the floorboard and push or use hot keys. If you are going to travel and work would need alternative ways to download - cell phone, WiFi, dial-up, etc. I download before I go and use my cell phone to upload if I'm not somewhere where I have another option when I need to send in work. You can use the laptop keyboard or figure a way to use an external keyboard depending on how much space you have.
Can anyone refresh my memory....
in Windows XP, how can I see what programs are running automatically on startup? I should know this, but for some reason my brain is not cooperating!
TIA!!
I don't think it will. But I can't say for sure. If memory serves, you can't have both pr
running simultaneously and switch back and forth, the pedal won't work or it will only work with one but not the other. However, if you've configured your pedal in both programs, then it should work with each program separately.
Re: Memory problems
Even though you're only 39 it could hormonal. My doctor told me the eary stages of menopause can start in your late 30's and does affect your memory.
Memory problems...
In the last year or so, I have noticed I am having problems with my short-term memory. Not just the usual walking into a room and wondering, "Now, why did I come in here?" although I do that, too. My work space is in my basement and unless I write something down as soon as I think of it, by the time I walk up the stairs, it's gone. I was at my GYN this spring and told her about it. She tested my blood sugar and did a thyroid panel and they were fine. I just turned 39, so I feel like I am too young for this. I have no trouble remembering medical terms for work or with remembering things from years ago, it's just the day-to-day stuff that I feel I should be able to remember and just can't. My husband just laughs but I am so frustrated! 
The memory showing says up to on
all of them, which means that is the maximum you can have, but you customize. You can pick the cheapest one, but by the time you customize it, it can be $200 to $300 more. I looked at them all and the processor speed is not that fast. Depending on what programs you use it may be too slow. I would get one with a faster processor speed. You may also want to get a laptop with XP instead of Vista since there are still so many bugs with it.
If memory serves
it'll be about $50 to $60 a month. When I changed my phone to business, I also had to upgrade my internet as I have internet through AT&T. If you have internet through another provider then you might not need to do that.
The eScription might use a lot of memory. Might need to

on how to get that foot pedal screen....i can't remember!
Don't you have a good memory!
I loved the Mirra trial chair--it was lumped out with all the bells and whistles, lots of places to fine tune things, and it has the best lumbar support of the two chairs. The only thing I didn't care for was the seat was too small. It confined my butt too much and so I felt a little cramped in it. But, again, I'm 5' 10" and weigh 220 pounds, so I'm more of the size of a dude, maybe even bigger.
I've been sitting in the Aeron chair for just about a week now and it is so much more comfortable...for me. My husband also likes the Aeron better, as he is stuck trying the Mirra this week and he wants the Aeron back.
The only bummer is I can't really compare apples to apples, as the Mirra demo model is fully lumped out as you can get with custom ordering from that line. The Aeron demo that we have is the stripped down version, the cheapest you can get from that line.
But as it stands right now, if I had to pick one, it would be the Aeron, even if it is the stripped down model. Also, the plastic back on the Mirra demo chair is all cracked and actually broken down the middle, as if it really can't withstand rigorous use or constantly leaning back in it. (see picture for close up) The fella couldn't tell us how long it has been in use as a demo chair. It looks about 10 years old at least...pukey green sort of color. The adjustable arms on the Mirra, they not only go up and down but flair out or in...well they are super touchy and don't lock in that side to side position, so if you push off the arms to get up out of the chair, they will click open and make you feel unstable as you are getting up out of the chair. Not a big deal at all, but it would be nice if they locked.
So yeah, final vote from both of us is for the Aeron. We are trying to get a demo of the Cella chair but they don't think they have one available.
Sounds like you need more memory n/m

Sometimes memory sticks can go bad. You may have
a couple sticks of RAM. Check your RAM usage.
storage vs memory
I think you have a basic lack of understanding of the difference between these two. Storing information won't slow down your computer unless you are constantly accessing it & your disk is really fragmented, & even then the difference might not be noticeable. Speed has to do with memory & processor speed, & photos or files stored on your computer don't have anything to do with this. Otherwise why would hard drives be equipped to handle 250, 500, 1000 GB (or more) of information? Processor speeds and amount of RAM have not increased proportionately. It's the RAM & processor speed you should be thinking about, not how many photos or videos you have. Memory is easy to add. Go to crucial.com.
How much free memory do you need, have both sm
Do not think my laptop is sufficient for large files involved - never thought of using it but would love to one day.
The memory will refresh when you turn it off
so you have better computer performance. Also, unless you have very good heat sinks in the machine, it is best to turn it off to let it cool down. The temperature inside the machine is hotter than the Mojave desert in the middle of summer (and that's darned hot) and heat will do more damage to a computer than anything else.
Very good point here about memory - XP uses a lot - sm
you would probably be better off just buying a new computer. Many offer their credit card and 6 months no interest. That is how I bought my Dell 2 years ago, paid it off in 6 months, no interest. I love those deals, we buy all our major purchases that way, have never paid interest yet.
