have not purchased
No have not purchased another house but am moving out of state, going to rent for 6 months to see if we like the area before buying again but wanted to move over the Christmas holidays to make it easier on the kids changing schools. I am not sure I want to buy again because am a single mom in my 50s and it is getting to hard to keep up with things that need done
I purchased one of these (sm)
laptop stands and it has been great - http://tinyurl.com/2uwhkz. It allows me to elevate my screen, which is necessary when working with a separate keyboard in order to keep the screen at eye level and arms/wrists at proper angles. If your chair does not have a height adjustment, you may want to consider one that does. Stretching, of course, is important, too. I'm thinking about getting an inversion table to help with my neck...we'll see  . I also have an elliptical which I use usually halfway through my day for around 30 minutes to exercise my legs. If you want to do some quick exercises in the house, you may find it nice to workout with pilates DVDs. It breaks the day up nicely.
You must have purchased them a few sizes
'cause you are really wiggin' out.
I actually purchased this last year (sm)
It's really a neat little program that acts like an alphabetized notebook where you can add entries for quick reference ... say you can't ever remember how to spell certain words, you can add those words and bring up TLRN and look up words you've added. You can create multiple notebooks with different facts/data/addresses or whatever. I found that I never used the program as I had other methods that reminded me of words, i.e., my expander, for one, and I already have tons of programs loaded and running in the background while working that the last thing I needed was another program running behind about six or seven already loaded.
I purchased an HP computer and
(per companies requirements). The new computer does not have a serial port and therefore I am using a 9 pin to USB converter which works well with my old system but will not work with the new system. Has anybody comes across this when purchasing a new system recently? HP is unable to help me and so I am turning to fellow MT's. 
I also purchased an adapter...sm
Staples also carries these adapters. I had to convert to a USB port as my newer pc did not have the port I needed either.
If you only purchased the upgrade, NO. sm
If you purchased Office 2007, YES you can install it separately.
Heartland is finally purchased...
Spheris purchases Heartland Information Services.. more to come later in the week
I purchased it through Transcription Gear
express scribe thing yet. Have too much work today to fiddle much with it. I appreciate everybody's advice and help on this.
I recently purchased the Stedman's (sm)
Medical & Surgical Equipment Words. Can you tell me the difference between this and The Surgical Word Book? Thanks.
Had same problem - purchased a 'hub'
store - cost about $80. It has a serial port and additional USB ports. Have used this for 3 years now. Can also use it for all the peripherals you don't have enough ports for on your computer.
Has anyone ever purchased Jon Knowles' list. ...
of abbreviations for medical transcription that can be downloaded into ShortHand or IT, and if so, is it worth the $45? I have been considering it and think it would be worthwhile but would like opinions. TIA.
I recently purchased a 23-inch...
Phillips LCD flat screen TV to use as a computer monitor. The TV price was relatively the same as a computer monitor of the same size. Definitely go as big as you can afford...you won't be sorry!
MedQuist was recently purchased
I just purchased the ABCZ glossaries for IT sm
A few weeks ago, and I am glad I did. It was definitely worth it. I like that I didn't have to start over from scratch to start following a system. I used his files and then used the workshop to convert my enteries over to the ABCZ system. It has been a big help to me. With 2 small kids I didn't have the time to try to figure out my own system and start creating the entries, so ABCZ was perfect for me.
Still using my "old" IBM keyboard purchased, I think, around 1990.
I totally panicked when it started going haywire & finally found a company that will repair them, have their own "clone" IBM's which aren't "too" bad, and also have the cord you were searching for.
I bought "their" clone while they repaired my original IBM, and it was pretty close to the touch of the original - but still just not the same. Then a few years ago, my son became aware of my dilema about searching for IBM keyboards -and, Geez - his company had one made by Lexmark back in their supply room - but without a cord -
If you're interested - try looking at http://pckeyboard.com/repair.html -- Repair services are through Unicomp out of KY - 1-800-777-4886, Jim Owens, Ext. 202.
I've been very happy with their service and I, personally, am surprised at what they charge. I purchased their "clone" & the cord for the IBM by Lexmark for $42.69, and their charge for repairing my original IBM was $35.44.
To, me - it's worth it!! Plus - their repair to my original didn't affect the "touch". They replaced key tops, corrected keys that were messed up, i.e., "s" key & others not working, replaced split "attached" cord - but didn't mess with my "feel".
Hate to admit how many "ergonomic" keyboards I've tried. Guess I'm just "too" old, set in my ways, & need my clicky-clack keyboard to keep my rhythm & fingers going.
Does anyone know how to reset a DVI? I purchased one at a yard sale and *sm*
it did not come with a manual. I am trying to use it for the first time and the dial tone comes up but it is asking for a log in ID. I would also like to purchase a manual if anyone has one. I do believe I can go to the DVI website and ask about purchasing one but that will not help me throughout the weekend in trying to figure out what do do now! Assistance is greatly appreciated!
I purchased BOSE head phones
and it was the best investment I ever made. I got tired of replacing headsets. You can get BOSE earplug ones or the over the head. I have both and prefer the over the head. It is amazing what I can hear now. Just wonder what I might have missed in the past before BOSE.
I purchased Office 2003 at Amazon.com.

Just purchased Dirt Devil bagless in K-Mart for $50 and

I purchased that book and it was useless. I think half the stuff in it was old. *sm*
My son told me that he thinks every useful thing has already been invented unless it is technology related. Sometimes I think he is right and other times I refuse to believe that every idea has already been invented. I am envious of the women on Oprah who are making a million dollars from a brownie recipe or an umbrella company. Sometimes I wish I could write a novel or a children's book that would be a best seller. I know people that sell one item on ebay such as golf clubs and are making their living doing that. I have never been able to find a popular enough item at wholesale cost to make a living at it. I do have an idea that I think would go over well in a shopping mall (the idea has been used before but it has never been in a shopping mall) but I do not know where to go with getting it past an idea. My biggest drawback is that I have no imagination and no real talent other than I am a hard worker and have moral values.
Thanks. I purchased a three way plug last night and it appears to be working and yes for the-sm
poster above it does have a filter on it but the way it plugs in I needed the extra plug so I could still be connected to the computer for my fax to work. Thanks again for the help.
I've purchased them at both Radio Shack and on Ebay. sm
If I remember correctly, they're called earbud cushions.
A variety of them can be purchased online here:

Power supplies are Dell proprietary and must be purchased from
power supply is the same way. I have 3 Dell laptops and a Dell PC and there are indeed a number of items that are proprietary. However, I love all of my Dell products and wouldn't trade them for anything.
It is my guess you are the same person who posted a few weeks ago that MQ had been purchased. Nothi
it is my guess nothing will come of this.
don't need to depreciate computers anymore. take the deduction in the year purchased

I've purchased one laptop and one desktop system used/refurbished, sm
...both from that place I mentioned, and you wouldn't know them from used. I used the laptop happily for many years (still have it, though it's quite out of date now), and the PC is going on it's 2nd year with no problems. You do have to be careful when buying used, but if you're dealing with a reputable site that has a good rep, it's usually not a problem at all and the savings can be tremendous.
Thanks...so much for Stedmans nm
I should have googled it. Thanks again.
Stedmans
in Word click on Tools when you fully expand this option it may list Stedmans here if not then Click Tools then options and spelling and grammar and Stedmans should be listed under your custom dictionary.
Feel free to email if you need more assistance.
Stedmans's
hi. Stedman's does run in the background. as long as your word dictionary is set to CUSTOM.DIC, it will be using it. There may be a folder in program files, and that is a good thing, in case you want to uninstall it. If you check your "add and remove programs" it may be listed in there, as well. as long as your medical words are not being underlined in red, you are fine.
I use Stedmans and
it works fine with Vista
Stedmans
Thanks for the links.
You can try Stedmans...

Stedmans CMT
Has anyone here purchased the Stedmans CD to ready for the CMT exam. I am thinking about purchasing and was looking for some feedback about that one or any others some of you have tried and found that worked for you. I understand the exam is very difficult and I really want to take it and pass it for that matter LOL. Any help and guidance is much appreciated.
about stedmans
Hello, I just went to Word 2007, which is very helpful but now I have no Stedman's. My Stedman's is very old. I was wondering if anyone knows where to get Stedman's O7 or 08 cheaper than 99.00.
Thanks so much. Have a wonderful holiday.

wp and stedmans
Go into your wordperfect and open the spellchecker. There should be a tab for user dictionaries. Open that and insert new dictionary. There should be 3 with the stedmans title. Use all three
stedmans or you can
or you can just run the disc again and download it into your wordperfect. It should ask you what program you want to put it in
stedmans
Yeah, I know, that's kinda what I'm thinking too. It's the only one I've used in all of my MT career, so kind of afraid to purchase something else. Thanks!
How did you get Stedmans SpellChecker to
Did you have to change some settings somewhere? Please give me the details because when I try to install it it just quits the install process. Thanks so much
Please help - Stedmans/WP 5.1 question...
I recently switched to a new computer (Windows XP) and for some reason I cannot get my Stedmans spellchecker to work. I use WP 5.1 dos and my Stedmans is version 6 for dos. In WP location of files, it shows Stedmans correctly but when I run spell check, some really ancient version shows up. Any ideas? Thanks.
Stedmans GI & GU words

I rarely use my Stedmans
Its so much easier just to type in what your looking for! I must have 20 books just sitting on my shelf!
Don't buy Stedmans Path/Lab CD!
I'm SO mad at Stedman's! I finally decided to go electronic and bought a med/surg equip CD and a path/lab CD. No problems with the former, but the latter will not work and disables MS Word! And I'm not the only one, as you can Google it on the internet and others are having the same problems. Somehow it interacts wrongly with different virus/spam protectors and will start throwing pages and pages of licensing cleanup alerts into your task manager, disabling your word processing. I called tech support last Friday and they said they'd get back to me. I called them back Tuesday and they said they still hadn't figured it out. I called them today, still nothing, so I got mad and returned the stupid CD for the book. Six days of "trying to figure it out"???? He had said before they could install an unlicensed copy since the licensing was the problem, but then days later said they couldn't figure it out.
They also send you an invoice saying your payment is due by X date (with the return envelope and the space to fill in how much you are paying of the total) when you've already paid by credit card. They also charged almost $20 shipping for 4 CDs that weigh a few ounces. I'm NOT happy!
Meditech and Stedmans
Does anyone use Meditech and Stedmans Medical/Pharmaceutical Spellchecker together? I just purchased Stedmans to use while typing in Meditech and now someone told me it would not work? I have not tried it yet though. I will keep Stedmans though to use in Word so no big money loss.
cmt reference stedmans sm
My main reason for wanting to purchase the Stedmans course is to get the feel of the test itself. This way I am not going in totally blind as to how the test is done. I have read the description online, but would really like to have an actual pre-type test to give me a feel for the platform. That is really what I am most worried about. That and grammar. I have a great accuracy rating, I am just worried about not passing and want to be as prepared as I can be. With that being said is the person out there who was offering the book for sale. I would like to know how much you would like for it. Thanks.
Need help with Stedmans speller
My Stedmans keeps not loading or something. It was working fine when I quit work Friday night. Then yesterday it would not work. I finally did a system restore and it worked after that fine. Then today, same thing, it will not work.
Can someone help me out with any suggestions?
Yes DIRECTLY FROM THE ......nm
What I would tell you directly sm
I know you want a better job and for whatever reason, it just has not happened...YET.
Anything worth having is worth waiting for. Up to a point, the longer you wait the better it will be. Though, after a while it seems useless, it really isn't.
I had a wonderful job up until summer of 2007. Like a fool, I had $$ in my eyes and I took a job at 10 cpl. It was hard work and the line counts weren't great, but then they started to regularly run out of work. That was year ago this month. I started actively looking for work and I had offers, but I didn't take them because the grass is usually greener over the septic tank, rather than on the other side of the fence. I have been burned and didn't want to be so again. I sent out one last resume just before Christmas, but didn't think anything would come of it. I was wrong. My gift for Christmas turned out to be my dream job, so I quit the one I had.
In June, the one I quit in December begged me to come back and I accepted, because as a PT job, it would be perfect, and it has been. The boss I disliked is gone and a great gal is in her place. There is also a great deal of work.
I have the same time in you do, 15 years. I have waited much of that time for a full time job and a part time job to come together in a way that meshes as perfectly as these two do. All good and wonderful things come to those who wait.
I am wishing YOU all good things and soon. There is a company out there wishing for a hard worker, looking for their needle in a haystack and that needle is YOU. Best wishes and good luck!
my stedmans lab book lists
it as alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency, both the older edition, and also the new edition
The Stedmans Word of the Day calendar.
