My husband and I watched The Notebook (sm)

In Reply to: Along the same topic as below... - another poll...sm
We both teared up. He told me that he loved me like that, and that I was his Allie. My birthday was shortly thereafter and on my envelope he wrote "To My Allie." What a guy I'm married to. After 23 years of marriage, our love is still growing strong!

17 years, my husband's got yours beat, he's STILL crying over the Notebook!
DH is dear husband or any number of colorful adjectives preceding husband. (no message)

little red notebook
go to horusdevelopement.com. Your can use it free for 30 days and then buy it, I think for 20.00.
Notebook ?
Do you think this is adequate for a notebook for what we do? Thanks!

Notebook if you have the $$$$$
If ALL you are doing is wordprocessing, which is what transcription is classified, you do not have a need it for graphics etc., and you have the $$$ to put in to what you need, a notebook is best because it is portable. BUT -- remember that notebooks no longer come with serial ports and few companies will include it unless it is a custom build, so a serial foot pedal cannot be used for transcription. I have tried many different adapters, and they do not work; it was explained that the TRUE serial port technology is so old that it is frequently incompatible with the USB technology used in the new operating systems, and that is why an adapter will not work. If you would like more info on your question, feel free to email me.
Another notebook ?
I really know nothing about these sort of things and would like a second opinion, so thank you for your patience in answering these questions for me!!
I looked at Sam's and basically saw nothing that was decent in memory and still high prices. I've been looking at Dell's website and saw they have a new line out for businesses. There are 3 here I am looking at. Each looks the same for memory. I really do not see what the difference is on each one or if one would be better than the other for my needs. Could someone please take a look at these 3 and give me their opinion.
For the money and with the amount of memory being offered, it seems that Dell is the way I need to go.
I appreciate the help! :o)

Notebook
I would suggest instead of a notebook, use WordPad instead or any word processing program your hospital has on their computer. I would keep my WordPad document open at all times while typing, then use the Alt+tab key to switch between Meditech (the program my hospital uses) and WordPad. Every single thing I looked up, I added to my WordPad document. The advantage of having it in a computerized document is that you can instantly find a word by just typing in part of the word or what it s/l, then using the Ctl+F function to search the document using the whole or just part of the word. If it sounds like a certain thing, when I add it to my WordPad document, I also type "s/l _________" beside it. So that when I look it up with the search function, it will find the the word even if I didn't spell it right. I kept two separate documents, one for medications and one for all other words. If you take the document home, you can use MS Word "sort" function to list the words in alphabetical order, which I did periodically (but has to be saved in text format to be read in WordPad). If you have any questions, e-mail me at angelathrall@yahoo.com.
Little Red Notebook
Google for it. I love mine and it is really cheap.
notebook/lap top
How many of you use a notebook or laptop to do your work? Are there any disadvantages? I just brought one and figure I can go to the library or somewhere else to work and not be stuck at home. TIA.
notebook/lap top
Thank you. I had not even thought of HIPPA. At least I can work other places in my house.
Get a notebook...
Divide it by accounts. Print samples and client profiles if possible. Put some spare paper in there to make notes when you've done a Google search for a drug, city, street name, referring doc, etc. Write it down. Then when you get that account again, you slap open your notebook and it all starts coming back to you.
Gone are the days of the same dictator over and over again. They can only dictate so much in a day, so most of us have to expand our horizons.
This notebook has been my lifesaver!
P/S: I do not use an expander. I only use Word autocorrect. I am old school, so to me Expanders seem like they would confuse me as I can type pretty quick after 20 years.
Vostro notebook (sm)
Pros, cons, any other info welcome. Thank you!
Have a notebook or rolodex (sm)
or anything with alpha tabs to record terms looked up. The very act of writing it down will help you commit it to memory. I once knew an MT who used a little rolodex system and would write a definition on a card for later reference. Periodically she would look through her rolodex and weed out the cards that she had completely memorized, keeping her system streamlined. I thought this was the best learning system I ever heard of.

Sorry, I meant to add the website, although you can find it quickly by using Google.

Acer notebook
I had a Radio Shack notebook several years ago. I loved it. It was back in the days of floppy discs 3 1/2 inch. I never had to have it serviced.
I have a laptop now and would not go any other way. I have used it for transcription for over four years and had very few problems other than spy ware which you can get on any computer. I got mine at Sams with s 3 year service agreement and never had to use it.
Hope this helps. Good luck either way you decide. I am sure you can take it back if you wish since you just bought it.
ext. keyboard for notebook? sm
I JUST bought a laptop and my 2-year-old went to town on the keys.  So I need a keyboard I can use with it. I've heard about 'usb' keyboards and mice for laptops. Can someone recommend one that responds to a light touch and is economical?
I watched also
Bruce Jenner seemed very stiff and almost afraid. I think the team that did a lot of the lifts should not have gotten better scores. The older judge is too hard on them since the celebs have never skated before. I may watch next week just out of curiosity to see who is going bye-bye.
Believe it or not...I just watched
for the very first time. I thought it was a very good movie. Anyone else enjoy it like I did? Thought Russell Crowe did an excellent job.
I have always watched ...
I've always noted what I can make an hour every where I've worked, so it seems strange that no matter what type of reports I have, I'm making around the same an hour... not much fluctation and is less than I can make at another company... (I work 2 different companies)...but I don't know how they could do it...
I love my Dell notebook (sm)
When I bought my Dell notebook I had the same concerns, so I purchased a "docking station." I don't think that's the correct term. But the notebook hooks onto it and then I can easily adjust the height of the screen. I can also plug into that my ergonomic keyboard, foot pedal, etc. Love it!

Notebook/Laptops with calculator key pad?
I am in search of the brands of notebook/laptops that have the calculator key pad on the keyboard. I really do not want to have to buy a separate calculator key pad to carry around along with the headphones and a foot pedal. So, can you all tell me which brands have the calculator key pad already on the keyboards? Thanks MT Mom
Survey Notebook Vs Desktop (sm)
Which is preferred, Notebook or Desktop for working 8+ hours per day doing MT? Any specifics you'd like to share about processor/memory would be helpful. Upgrading my computer and deciding which would work best for me.
What are the technical specs on your notebook (sm)
Would like more info on the specifics such as the brand, RAM, processor speed.
Another option would be to use an electronic notebook sm
Like Microsoft OneNote or Little Red Notebook (is this still available?). It's so much faster to cut and paste with the keyboard rather than stop what you're doing to write it down!
Plus after typing so much for so long, my handwriting is practically illegible at this point!
I watched CNN yesterday almost all day, just
willing those miners to walk out, but knowing that wasn't likely to happen based on the fact that there was no apparent debris that could be blocking them in. I celebrated with the families when word was circulated that 12 were alive. I called my DH at work and cried like a baby. I was numb after the news came that only 1 survived. I kept hearing stories about how the miners were coming to meet their families at the church, a Red Cross person said the miners were fighting about going to the hospital, that they wanted to see their families, and after the ambulance went out I waited and waited wanting desperately to see those men walk out.
I've Never Watched AI, Believe It or Not!!
Thanks so much for posting the link. He's got a fantastic voice. Even though I'm more than old enough to be his mother, that gray hair is SO sexy.
My sister watched our dog
I brought her home something from the place we visited.
crash was decent, the Notebook is good
they dont make them like they used to tho !
I watched the prosecutor video
I watched the video with the interview with the Aruban prosecutor, which was on MSNBC videos in the internet..check it out, maybe it is still there. She said the father was arrested for interfering with an investigation by talking to the boys and telling them no body, no crime.
I watched a special on TV last night
about outsourcing to India and how much they are gaining financially from this situation. It showed some of the girls out shopping in nice malls buying three and four pairs of shoes at a time. Wish I could just buy one pair!! Bring our work back home!!!
Haven't watched the news all day
Boy, that family has been through so much. Sometimes you think you are getting more than you can endure, don't you?
I just watched the new episode. I hope
they can help Jeff out. Tempestt looks very pretty, and she was smart to take a break and go to school. Harvey rocks :)
Have you watched "How I Met Your Mother"?
It's on Monday's, I think. All my days run together, forgive me. It's not reality, but it's really refreshing. Good writing. I enjoy it.
Has anybody watched the TV show "Earl?"
ZZZzzzzz
nice to see some folks watched...sm
waiting to see how this progresses - hope it lasts as a reality show - seems like there is less *bickering* that with Dancing with the Stars, though I like that show too but NOT the judges there....*grin*
Haven't watched yet tonight (sm)
I taped it so I will watch it another time. I like Chris although he hasn't been as good the last couple of weeks. I love, love, love Taylor although he also has not really been his usual self the last few weeks. I also liked Mandisa. Paris and Katherine are great too. Oh, and Elliot. I DO NOT care for Kellie or Bucky, most especially Kellie. I think she is trying to play the cute down-on-the-farm girl like Carrie Underwood and, honey, she needs to stop already. Please, please let her be gone next. I'll settle for Ace being gone too though.
I haven't watched until tonight.
I would say that Kat has a really small range and tries to hit notes she just can't hit. The first and third song were just not good for her. Taylor aced two of the three. Levon is a good song and I think would have been good for him, but he seemed kind of nervous. All in all, he is the winner. Even Simon said so. He's adorable.
My daughter and I watched and cried, too. Seems so
unfair, but then I believe God needed him. For a barb to get him in between the ribs and directly into his heart, God said, "It is time."
LOL. You're right. It's been a while since I watched SNL. Thanks for the reminder.

I watched this video and sent it to my US Senator and also
.
I totally understand but if your husband is like my husband... sm
When it comes to something like that, that I usually take care of but for whatever reason I can't, I will tell my husband exactly what to do, but when he comes back - to use your case as a "for instance" - I will ask him, "Did the doctor look at his foot?"
Him: "No."
Me: "Did you ask the doctor to look at his foot?"
Him: "No."
Me: "I told you to have the doctor look at his foot!"
Him: (shrug)
etc., etc., etc.
Your husband may not be like that - I sure hope he isn't. And yes, they should have checked his vitals and checked his foot without being asked. But sometimes you have to be assertive with people. And while my husband attained the rank of major in the Air Force and had no trouble ordering people around, there are times when he should be assertive but isn't. And he is not intimidated by doctors - he started his AF career as an x-ray tech (that's how we met). I dunno....(Rad MT wanders off, mumbling....)
Considering buying a Dell notebook to transcribe. How easy is it?
Meaning, how is the ergonomics? I'm afraid it may cause carpal tunnel or maybe back problems due to positioning. Would like input.
Laptop/notebook recommendations for transcription work?
I am going to get a laptop/notebook in about a month and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for one that seems to work well with transcription. I need to know specifics like hard drive, RAM, memory, model number, etc. Thanks in advance
I watched the game and have been a football fan for 40+ years.
excuse-making sore loser like you are.
Again, grow up.
Who watched American Idol tonight???
Cannot even believe that Bucky went home before Ace, Katherine, or Paris. Ace cannot sing at all! Bucky was not great, but it was definitely not his time to go! 
I watched it both times and couldn't believe it either time.
I really doubt they let them do actual work. It was probably practice stuff and just made them do X number of minutes of dictation or x number of hours and they just had to muddle through and type whatever they thought it was. I saw a few lines of what the husband typed and it made no sense from what I saw, so I think they just had to put in the time and guess, just to get a feel for what she does.
Oh give me a break. If had watched the show..sm
you would have known WHY they asked her to leave. She was arrogant, pushy, demanding, and interruptive to put it mildly. The show is WAY better off without her and her attitude of "better than thou."
has anybody been watching Arrested Development? I watched four shows in a row on FOX and it is
I don't know when it is on regularly but it's a great show and they ran four shows back to back and it was laugh out loud funny.
No, that wasn't the case. I watched the interviews on the news.
The very next day after Wilma, there were people standing in line complaining about no help and what were they going to do. One healthy, 20ish woman in particular had her kids with her standing in line. She was upset because she didn't even have water for formula. Now, I do not have a problem helping children out. I would give kids everything I had, but the mother should have had enough brains to fill water jugs and take care of her kids. Those kids are depending on her to do the right thing, and she didn't do it. Her manicure with fake nails certainly was nice, though. Talk about messed up priorities. There were healthy men there complaining about having no water or food for themselves, too.
Yeah, I've heard of her but never watched or listened to her.
I just wish I could get someone else on board, too.
