It does. It's a Belkin.
I think I'm going to just have to deal with it. :-)
Belkin
My employer wants me to try using an ergonomic keyboard and supplied me with a Belkin model.
I tried it for a couple of hours and despised it, so I switched back to my regular HP keyboard.
Has anyone else tried a Belkin ergonomic keyboard, and if so, did you find you had to literally slam your thumb into the space bar in order to have it work correctly?
Since I don't like this one, I'm sure they'll want to order me another type. Besides the Kinesis Advantage (which I think they would deem too expensive), any recommendations for an ergonomic keyboard with a nice light touch?
TIA, ladies!!! 
Belkin
If anyone comes across a Belkin ergo keyboard and is considering it, just a heads-up that I had one but the keys required such a forceful keystroke to "engage" that my entire arms up to my shoulders were sore.
Maybe the one I had was defective, but I've steered clear of Belkin products since. I'm currently using a Microsoft Ergo keyboard and it seems to be okay.
Let us know what you come up with.
Where can I buy Belkin Omniview? SM
 A friend gave me one a long time ago, but now I'm afraid it might break and I don't have a backup. I looked at CompuUSA, but they don't carry the quality one I want.
Is there a mail order source? I know I sound like a feeb, but I just don't know where to look to buy this. I'm prepared to pay $300-400 or whatever the cost. I just need a two port one.
I'm not looking to purchase this from someone here, really, I just would like to know vendors that sell this type of equipment.
Thank you.
Belkin. Have had it many years with no
problems at all. Have my work computer, home computer and mom's computer upstairs linked to it. Works great.
I have a Belkin and it works great.

Belkin TuneBuds for IPod - sm
I just bought a pack of 5 pairs of these things at Kohls for $10. They are the exact same foam thingies that go on my headset, and they come in fashion colors! Just an FYI if anyone has been looking for foam things.
Anyone here have the Belkin ergo keyboardSM
I just bought one on Amazon.com (it should be here on Friday). Just wondering what you all think of it? I really liked my MS ergo elite keyboard, so I wonder if I'll be disappointed by trying to save a few bucks.
Thanks for your feedback! :)

I use a Belkin wireless router
for mine. Signal is strong from the router to the wireless too. It comes with instructions on how to hook it all up, pretty simple. Remember you have to set up BOTH computers when you do it (router to main PC, then USB card to the other). But I have broadband and not sure how it works with dail-up.
I don't understand why people use dial-up anymore or even DSL with limits. I have RoadRunner via Brighthouse and my entire cable/phone/internet package is $130/mo, and that's with HBO,Showtime,Cinemax. Unlimited calling and no restrictions on my internet usage. Now they offer to bump up your connection speed for a fee but I've never needed anything more than the basic connection.
Thanks for the heads up on the Belkin. I'm crossing
this one off my list for sure...I've had to use that type of keyboard before where you have to push too hard on the keys - not good!
Belkin Ergonomic, Model # F8E208
If you Google it, you will come up with tons of places to buy it from. I bought mine at Target for 30 bucks, well worth it and more.
mine is a Belkin - easy to hook up
think I paid about 35.00 but it is a little white button that you toggle back and forth. Great little thing. I spent forever rolling chair back and forth between computers. Got it at Staples.
I didn't push hard with my Belkin, but
I hated how big it was and how my body didn't like it so well. I recently made the switch to the Kinesis Advantage from my Belkin, and I really, really like the Kinesis. It's so much smaller, the keys are really light to the touch, and I can set it in my lap, which I prefer to the desk. I would recommend the investment for the Kinesis if you can. Besides the thumb keys being the greatest invention ever, the number split is at 5 and 6 like on the Belkin. If you look for a reburbished Kinesis Advantage, it will save $60. It has the same warranty as the brand new one. Mine is a refurb, but it's good as new.
I have had the same issues!!! i am gonna call my router co. too although i used belkin. sm
i have no idea about "networking" but walked myself through their installation. my net speed was horrible, so i fiddled with it and set up new user, etc through network connections. now it doesn't even show a user on my setup but yet daughter is on with laptop. so odd. we need a crash course on networking!!
I had the same problem with the Belkin and sometimes it didn't work at all so I got the Dynex and
That was my solution, maybe someone else has had a better experience with the Belkin than I did.
Google search shows TigerDirect and belkin.com both carry this. nm

I did try the Belkin and I thought it was working but the first time I let up on my foot pedal
it just stopped and froze up my computer. I tried all of the COM ports I could think of. Today, I ordered the Dynex adapter which is the other adapter that Escription recommends and I'm going to try that. I am not giving up. I do hope that in version 8 of Editscript that really do make the foot pedals USB and get into this century. It's almost impossible to find new computers that have the serial ports on them anymore. I will update you on this Dynex adapter when I try it out now. So, for the time being, I am packing along my little portable computer when I travel. It's pretty small but it's just having to bubble wrap the flat monitor that is a pain. At least, I get to work and play. It'd just be nice if I could take my laptop instead..
Escription users- Belkin USB adapter for foot pedal problems
Hey, as most of you know, we're stuck using the old 9-pin foot pedal. Well, I bought the Belkin adapter and set it to the ports as Escription's web site instructed, and at first, it was working when I hit the foot pedal. I heard it, and then my mouse stopped and everything froze. It did this twice to where I just had ot turn off my computer. Anyone else have this problem, and if so, what did you do. It was frustrating to get to that one, have sound..everything...and then froze up the computer completely. Thanks
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.
Get ready for changes.....sm
lots of them and very quickly IF this is what is happening. Six Sigma management tends to cut the fat and thin the herd by "survival of the fittest." In other words, expect it to be harder to achieve a high quality score, incentive bonuses, quality bonuses, etc., because they will up the ante with respect to that At least that was my experience with Edix...and no, I'm not a sloppy MT barking about sour grapes. That's just the way it was.
ready or not
If new Career Step grads are not ready to work, why are so many of them getting multiple job offers? Some get four or five offers within a month of graduation. In the real world, the marketplace will determine who is ready to work and who is not. Whether or not a given MT is prepared to work is between her and her employer. AAMT is sticking its nose into an area where it is neither needed nor wanted, and they would not be doing this if there were not profit in it for them. If they want to do something for us, let's see them do something to stop the offshoring of our medical records. If they were showing real leadership on this and other substantitve issues, our salaries would not be declining. We cannot trust the AAMT.
My son was almost 4 - He will do it when he is ready.

Are you ready? lol...sm

I know that I am in no way ready to do this on my own. Others have said I should cut out the sm
middle man and get my own accounts. I know that I am not qualified to do that right now. I just graduated two months ago! I want to get at least 2-3 years experience under someone else before I go out looking for my own accounts. I'm not ready to be responsible for everything yet. Maybe I'm a minority, or don't have enough confidence in myself, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I am ready.
I haven't done it yet, but I do have everything I need to work loaded on my laptop in case I need to evacuate for a hurricane. Just grab the laptop, foot pedal, keyboard and go.
Ready set go.
Association of United States Medical Transcriptionists (AUSMT)?
Association of Onshore Transcriptionists (AOT)?
I've got Blisters on my Fingers (IGBMF)?
Throw AHDI Out the Window (TAOW)?

But seriously, folks. Let's come up with a name (something with a snappy acronym), then a Yahoo User group & a domain name, & eventually we can come up with some kind of group statement. Let's see what evolves. Who knows? Maybe we can put a dent the Association for Healthcare Documentation in India (!).
Get ready for yours to
stay the same. Most of us here have experience and we should all have accuracy. If you have worked on the platform for some time now and nothing seems to change, just gonna have to suck it up and know what the issues are, that being too many people not changing according to what the specs are.
I'm getting my yacht ready now.

I'm with you, ready to retire
but have a few years to go, like 20. My production hasn't gone up 25%, has yours? If anything it has gone down. Have you thought about Spheris? I had a job offer last year at 10 cpl, should have taken it probably.
Actually, I was ready to do this same thing - (sm)
start a petition, but I was (VERY HAPPILY!) beaten to it by a faster-thinking (and probably even madder-than-I-am) MT. GOOD WORK! Lets get this puppy ROLLING! ;D
Cheers! I'm ready for one too! nm

We are getting ready to upgrade.
Supposedly it is going to be "wonderful." I hope so.
You're probably not ready for this then.
If you're questioning what a line is and how much to charge, that says you haven't done your homework yet. When he asks you about FTP or encryption or HIPAA compliance, will you have to tell him you'll get back to him after you run to check this board for an answer? If you haven't prepared yourself well enough for this interview, it will show and until you're ready to answer questions on the spot, I don't know why you think you're ready to go out looking for your own accounts. You need to know what you're talking about.
Ready to quit, too...sm
I just started what I hoped was my final MT job, but now it looks like it's time to start looking again. I have over 35 years' experience and this outfit has had me on QA for a month now. 
They're nitpicky over hyphens. You use a hyphen here, but not here. Hello? These doctors can barely make a coherent sentence. They don't have a clue whether near-syncope has a hyphen or not...FYI, per the BOS bible, it does, but not according to the outfit I'm working for...nor does the MD care. He just wants his report back in a readable format. 
And there is no such word as cary or carie when you're referring to teeth...it's caries, period. I did win that battle.
I worked for a short time for another outfit at minimal pay (marking time until better thing came along) that was nitpicky over semicolons. 
As my DH's boss once told him when he was worrying about the small stuff, "Don't worry about the mules, just load the wagons." 
So if there's an MTSO out there who's looking for a fast, accurate, punctuationally-challenged (apparently) MT who loves ER/psych, feel free to contact me. 
when the student is ready, the teacher will come
.
call me when the cookies are ready
and pour me some warm milk!
Means probably getting ready for a sale....sm
That's what happened at Edix when they brought in Bill Keena. The company was sold within a year.
Six Sigma is a management style and philosophy. Check Google.
boy i can relate. i'm ready to quit a
new job because of something similar. heaven forbid tech people being able to fix a "tech" problem. i know more than he does and it's getting to the point that this company isn't worth the trouble. it's a shame because i like the other people that i deal with. 
okay now I am ready to make a move
I could kick myself -the company I am working for keeps saying it will pick up and I keep staying, meanwhile I have put on hold a job I should have taken-MDI in Maryland. I have learned my lesson! I am finally ready to move on-anyone looking for an IC who can do 1300 lines a day?
okay now I am ready to make a move
What company were you working for that was not giving you enough work? I have recently made a move and am also not getting the work I thought I would get when I changed.
Robotics...it has always fascinated me since ready
Isaac Asimov's novels. I am not sure exactly what would be needed, but I would certainly start somewhere in that field. Probably lots of math, I imagine.
Since I am no longer single, however, I have to give that dream up.
The other thing I would like to do is get involved in ecology, studying the earth, etc. It is going through so many changes right now...like we are in a huge transition period while it grows and changes.
In any case, anything to get outside a little bit, I think...
How about you, Romey?
No one comes out of MT school ready to work...sm
Students will come out of the top 3 schools ready to work, but will have to work for lower line rates as apprentices. So who do you think the MTSOs will hire?
We won't hire newbies that's for sure. There's way too much training that you have to do with a brand new MT, lower line rate or not. That's the least of our worries as MT's.
Woo Hoo! I'm ready and feeling lucky! nm

Absolutely and my 2 teens are ready also. sm
I have a Senior in HS and a Freshman in HS who both are board, finished their summer reading, tired of the swim club, been to the beach for 3 weeks, and they are now vamping up for their summer camps, VB and football. They both said yesterday, they are board and their brain needs stimulation.
I on the other hand, can't wait to have my space back. I sometimes feel "my space" is invaded and don't have a spot to call my own. No matter what room in the house I go into, someone is there or follows me in, especially the kitchen.
Can't wait for school to start, but on the other hand, am not that anxious as they will be 1 more year toward being on their own and leaving the house for good - college and everything. That is scary!
Ready to scream (venting)
 I am doing a loooooonnnng psychiatric report by an ESL who must be sitting 1 mm from some machine that is beeping loudly every half second. I am able to hear every fourth word over the loud beeping and that word takes me five minutes to decipher because of his accent  Is it noon somewhere so I can have a drink?  
If you have to ask, you're not ready for that big of a change.
you sound more than ready for retirement!

I was getting ready to, but they didn't have it in my area.

I am getting ready to move and my old books are not going with me!!! nm
