Hey all....
I'm inquiring about a company called "Trans am Associates, Inc." based in Florida. Does anyone have any information on this company? Are they legit? I'm being offered training and a 'guarenteed' job, but it has a price tag and I'd rather confirm prior to shelling money out.
Thanks!
Michele

I am also in the process of researching this. So far, (sm)
I have learned that the Core Duo is the best for running the new Vista. As far as brand names, I have never been happy with HP with their desktops, so I think I will just skip over their laptops. I love Dell products and have always had good luck with them and their customer service (I know some have not, but I have). However, both Toshiba and Sony Vaio have been recommended to me and I am looking into them right now.
Please post anything you might come across, as I am very interested in the responses to your question.
Have a great day!
Thanks, I've been researching it too,
it does seem like it is very treatable and is also very rare and slow-growing. It looks very promising. I have printed out a bunch of stuff for mom and she is feeling much, much better with just that. :)
While you're researching your options
it might be helpful to you to approach things from the other direction. Try to determine the outcome you hope to achieve and then work backwards to come up with different possibilities to achieve your goal. Maybe after your son has had his depression addressed with appropriate couseling or medication, you could involve him in the decision-making process. He sounds like a bright kid; he may come up with ideas you hadn't considered. In any event, I wish you the best. It's tough enough to be 15 without health issues. He's lucky to have such a caring mom.
Researching lap tops. Sorry about all the questions. sm
I keep looking at lap tops, but I don't understand a lot of the language. Just computer challenged, I guess.
What is the difference between AMD Sempron, AMD Athlon and Intel Core processors? These are the ones I find on Dell that still have Windows XP. What is the difference between the SDRAM size at 533 MHz and 667 MHz. Hard drive speed 5400 RPM and 7200 RPM (I have a vague idea about that)? What is considered acceptable for doing MT work? How do you tell the speed of the processor, and does this mean the surfing speed and the speed work can be uploaded and downloaded? I really feel lost here!!! TIA.
So: it's ok for MTs to lose time/$ on researching,
Sounds akin to a DOUBLE STANDARD to me.
Even if we're both paid the same way, it seems that since you merely have to LISTEN, then fill in a few words, even if you have to look them up, you haven't spent NEARLY as much time per report as those of us who actually had to PRODUCE them. You're only researching the blanks that you're not sure of. We have usually researched several other terms in the report that we found the answer to, and are then correctly typed. You don't have to do a thing about those. So how can you be supposedly losing more than we do every time you have to take your foot off the pedal to fill in blank? We have to do the same thing, only more often.
The only way you could be losing more money than we are is that you probably make more to begin with.
Need Advice On Researching Possible Line
Okay. Not sure if this is correct forum, but I hope it is. I have worked for a company for 3 months, just passed my probation with flying colors. Problem is that my line counts are terrible, to me. I am used to transcribing 200 to 250 lines an hour and have done so for 10 years until I started this new company. I am just as fast, use the same Expander as my old job - both are Word platforms so just copied my old Word expanders. I am making half of what I used to make and what I need to make as I support my family. My team lead keeps telling me its just me and not to worry, I'll get better. But I am going full speed and am fine. Still, I thought it was me. Then I coincidentally started a part-time job to supplement the full-time one, as many of us are doing. I have been at this job only 2 days, and in 2 days I am back to typing 250 to 300 now per hour. I am shocked and mad as a hornet, as now I think I see what may be going on with job #1. I know these are very serious allegations, but have no idea how to prove this, yet to me there is no other explanation. The old walks like a duck, smell like a duck, its a duck thing. I basically type more lines on a brand-new job with new accounts and new doctors in 2 hours than I do in 5 hours on my other job. Anybody have any suggestions? Other than the obvious that job #2 should be my primary job, is there anything I can do to check line counts definitively? Both pay per 65 character lines, including spaces and headers. Both do not pay for any demographics.
Spent 20 min. researching with very little info, and at the end, Dr. said 'Just take that part ou
I hate it when I spend so much time looking up things I do not know (terms or medications, or even a referring or copied doctor's name and address) and then the doctor changes his/her mind and says to just take that back out.
Or, you spend all that time looking things up and researching, then at the end they say 'Oh, by the way, here's all the information you just wasted your time looking up.'
Ggggrrrrrrrrrrr.
I'll be back to rant more later because this has REALLY been getting on my nerves lately, and seems to be happening a lot more often.
