No, the 2000 is the small one without the palm rest.

When I saw the 4000 and the 6000, they were bigger and I think they were cordless. This one is small, has a cord, and is very inexpensive; something like $15 I think he said!
I do better without a wrist rest also.

How do you do 2000 a day? Do you work for a national or small company? nm

I wedge a small pillow between me and the armrest on each side for my arms to rest on.

Is this w/the built-in hand rest? Touch was nice, but the rest made my palms achey. Didn't

Do you mean the palm?
If you mean the palm of your hand, it could be Dupuytren's contractures (I may have spelled that wrong - don't have my Quick Correct on here - lol). I have two or three cysts in the palm of my hand and that is what I have. It supposedly will eventually cause the fourth and fifth digits to contract in. This can also occur in the feet. The strange thing is, I have them in my right hand and left foot. Supposedly, this occurs in people of Viking descent, so know I can only picture my forefathers as these huge hairy horned men!
There is a palm demo but I don't see a regular one.

It involves all of the fingers from about the mid-palm to fingertips. I also have
stiffness and pain in the knuckle of my middle finger, same hand. No swelling, redness, or warmth of the joint, though. Thanks!
Anyone try Express Dictate or Pocket or Palm
x
Yep. I have a couple docs that use laptops and some that prefer Palm Pilots, but they all point and
small mentality usually means small pocketbook
Still make more than you and I but that is deserved. They've put the effort forward and educated themselves.
Dictate into computer, hand held, pocket pc or even palm pocket
Go to http://www.nch.com.au and see their dictation and transcription software. Works great, priced great, never had a problem with it!
All I can say is rest when you need it and - sm
listen to the docs. I, personally, have not had cancer but after dealing with my 5-y/o Wilm's tumor (kidney cancer) this year, our family has been but through the wringer. Jen handled her chemo great, lost her hair with 2 treatments to go (had 14). Kids are great about that though, got a little self-conscious but after a few minutes in a new place would forget she had no hair. I got her a couple hats for the sun and for her to feel better too. Painted her head one day, had fun with it. She had good days and bad of course, but for the most part handled it all very well. Just had a clean ultrasound and chest x-ray today, yeah! She looks like a little boy now, with dirty blond hair (was an incredible shade of red before), with now the roots growing a new color, a strawberry blond/red, really pretty. So if you do lose your hair it may grow in different (probably will). Jen's was very fine before, now it is a lot thicker, still straight as a board though as it was. You may lose some weight too, but after chemo is done you will regain it once you get your appetite back. Best wishes to you and feel free to email ! 
Just take out 1/3 of the mix so far and add only 2/3 of rest

If she's like the rest of us MTs out there...
She's doing an excellent job and just wishes the docs would WAKE UP and start doing the same. Docs ARE incompetent for the most part, and that's sad. But you go ahead and think they walk on water, honey. When they amputate the wrong leg during your operation, you'll be the first to scream, LAWSUIT!!!!
How is this different from the rest of us?
I haven't said this before, but I've been thinking it. So the suits only think about the bottom line and the doctors don't care whose jobs go overseas as long as it isn't theirs. How are we any different? How many of us cared that textile/garment workers jobs went overseas? Until the lead paint scare, how many of us cared that toy making jobs were going overseas? Do we stop buying the latest electronic gadgets, not to mention computers, because they are virtually all made overseas now? For the most part, we didn't worry about those jobs, so why would anyone care about ours? Wal-Mart, K-Mart and the other low-price retailers push their suppliers for ever cheaper products, and plants overseas are the best suppliers. Have we stopped shopping there, or is price all we care about, too?
about themselves? Help the rest of us
I think it is wonderful that you are making so much money. Why don't you help the rest of out and share your secretes? Please...I need all the help I can get at 7 cpl.

The rest of the world
Thinks Americans are suckers. We help everybody, give money away to everybody, and then they all turn on us. I'm beginning to think they are right-- we ARE suckers! Maybe it's time to tell the rest of the world to take care of their OWN people and problems for a change.
Why? Except for the rent all the rest is the same everywhere.

I rest my case.

But then how will you be different from the rest of the kids?

foot rest
 So do you put both feet and the pedal on the foot rest?
Foot rest
I also would like to know if anyone has an idea for a foot rest. I also have swollen feet at the end of the day. I looked at my daughter-in-law's foot stool for breast feeding and thought it might work since it is slanted. Off to Google this and see what I can find.
foot rest - sm
I found mine by Googling foot rest. You'll find lots of them, all shapes, sizes, and prices. I think mine came from Fellows, but cannot remember now. I love it. No more backache. Good luck with your search.
rest in peace!!!!
nm
Don't know what it is. :( Can you rest them on a heating pad in your lap before and while
s
I agree with the rest
Run, do not walk, away from this account. One day you won't be paid at all. I would rather not get paid for not working than not get paid because somebody kept the money that I had worked for. 
When typing, do you rest your --sm
wrists on the keyboard tray or hold them up in the air? Am having arm pain and have tried both ways but do not notice any difference.
Get some well-deserved rest (sm)
you are NOT a machine! Take some time and rest up, especially if you aren't feeling well. No one should have to endure that in this profession. Helping out is one thing, being taken advantage of is another. Get Well Soon!
Would you give it a rest already?
The "compliment" (not complement) was meant for the person who correctly identified this as a pyramid scheme..
And would you give the "His hand was with me" hoo ha a rest? There are plenty who fall for this type of manipulation but I hope that none of them are on this board...
please go troll elsewhere.
OP could do like the rest of us----- research,

OH PLEASE give this a rest!!!
I VOTED FOR CLINTON TWICE so I'm not a hater per se. That said, AFTER the fact I started educating myself about the facts with regard to U.S. POLITICS. Its enough to m ake you RETCH.
BILL CLINTON had plenty of SUPPORT for NAFTA, and WE ALL GOT THE SHAFTA!
Before you start saying Democrats are better than Republicans about this or that issue - do some research: THEY ARE THE SAME party!
THE WEDGE ISSUES ARE THERE JUST TO KEEP YOU DISTRACTED!
BOTH PARTIES ARE CORRUPT TO THE GILLS - why are AMERICANS SO AWARE OF THIS yet also so willing to keep supporting only these 'two' parties!
I just don't get it. If you know you are being scammed, why do you keep buying their lies?
can't speak for the rest of them
I know one MTSO who was going to put on an ad and has backed off with what has been going on with the ownership of the board. I think it's just like the number of postings being down - people are on here but are hesitating because they're not sure if everything is okay. I think if you give it a little more time you'll see more and more ads come back on as people relax about the board again.
SHE'S SUPERWOMAN! WHILE THE REST OF US...SM
just have to roll with the punches, which somehow have eluded her.
Are you able to rest your arms?
Maybe arm rests? They helped me for a while until I started getting carpal tunnel symptoms from not having my hands properly positioned (due to resting my elbows on my arm rests). Needless to say, got rid of the arm rests and after a while, the pain just went away (both in wrists/hands and shoulders/back). However, I do have quite severe knots if you ever feel my shoulders :)
Just take what you want and leave the rest! :D nm

THE POINT: The $2000 was for
knockoff or from the store is not a necessity in anybody's book and
is a slap in the face of the taxpayer who underwrote the $2000.
2000 is only the beginning
Believe me, that $2000 is only the beginning. I do feel for these people but many of them are only used to hand outs and they will be getting them left and right. Lets see how many of them stand in line for a job. I heard that WalMart will hire any evacuee, no matter what. I wish they would report how many have been hired thus far. I was watching Fox news the other day and one of the guys they were talking to said something along the lines of "They aint helping us at all, its like they shipped us all on slave boats again" He then said the F word, which Fox didn't see coming because you could hear it plain as day. Now that is the state of mind of many of these people. Give me, give me. The welfare system has tought many that the government will take care of them, they do not have to take care of themselves. Now I am not talking about all the evacuees just the ones that are not used to fending for themselves.
Okay, said what I had to say. This just all gets to me.
Try Word 2000
Look at some online discount software places. I picked up Word 2000 CD only (no book, no frills) for $30. Seems most of these outfits require Word 2000 and up. Try softwareoutlet.com; that's where I got my CD.
2000 lines a day
I used to do 2000 lines a day but I had only 3 hospital accounts. Sure, it would be easier to do that many lines per day and more if you have easier accounts (and if you have 1, like yourself, definitely more), but unfortunately most people have lots of different accounts - and where I work, there are over 350 accounts and people sort of have to do whatever comes up, so it is MUCH more difficult to do. It all depends on if you are lucky enough to have 1 account, like yourself, or have to "go with the flow" with whatever comes up, which is infinitely more difficult. Kudos to those who can produce 2000 lines a day WHILE DOING lots of different, difficult accounts. YOU are the ones who truly deserve respect.
I do 2000 lines a day...but...sm
I also have to admit to having only five accounts, mostly with acute care, with only a few ESLs and few Op notes. We go live on the 15th so I probably won't be in the 2000 Club after that, although hopefully, as I get used to things, my numbers will climb back up.
2000 lines...
I think if you are an acute care MT with several different accounts and quite a few ESL dictators (normal for most hopsitals), if you kill yourself and resign yourself to having no life at all, you could do 2000 lines or more easily. However, I don't think it's worth it.
Those of you who do a lot of lines (2000+) a day,
Now I know a lot depends on how many characters per line but putting that aside: How do you get in a lot of lines every day?
Do you sit and work nonstop? Do you type at a leisurely pace or bang your keyboard as fast as you can? Do you use an expander? A word completion software like Smartype? Are you able to keep up with everything else - house, kids, DH? Do you just keep on typing till you get all the lines you want? Do you set a goal for yourself each day, or just type every chance you get and what you end up with is okay with you?
Just wondering cause I know even though I've been an MT many years (23) I am sort of spoiled. Had many years where I had easy money accounts and made money not really even trying and not working very hard. Well now I have canned my own accounts and working for someone else at a respectable line rate - but I find myself wanting to type 1000 lines a day and stop and I need to make more money than that. I guess I just got lazy!
So if you don't mind, share your tips!
2000 lines a day
I can send you my line count sheets. get one daily. why would I get on here and lie.
Word 2000
Hi All ! I'm using Word 2000. Is it necessary to upgrade to newer versions of Word?
Had mine done in 2000 (I was 39) sm
outpatient hospital and the combined total with everything included came to nearly $10,000. That was with the anesthesia fee, etc. I didn't get them both done at the same time. Of course, I probably got charged more since I have insurance. Did the worst one first and 5 weeks later did the second. What an absolutely amazing difference. I was severely nearsighted and doctor corrected it with a stronger lens and even though I still wear bifocal glasses (for astigmatism) I see so much clearer. I didn't even realize they were that bad.
I took it in 2000 and it was a breeze for me then.
But I didn't maintain it. Has it changed much, does anyone know? I keep hearing it's not easy and am just wondering if it's now more difficult than it used to be. I am trying to decide whether or not to do it again.
