small businesses - they have laptops with XP loaded that can be changed out for Vista at a later date if necessary. They worked this out with microsoft to bridge the gap between xp/vista, as companies are not so quick to jump to the change this time.

Shop around -- sm
If you don't need something fancy for work, you don't need a lot of the bells and whistles that come with a more exp computer. Dell is cheap though most other brands have lower-priced computers. I would look at Dell.com, Gateway.com, amazon, Best Buy and Circuit City. If you ask you might be able to bundle the printer/scanner/fax deal. Canon's are good, and i have a Brother. If you have more specific questions, feel free to e-mail.
I wouldn't allow it in my shop.
Lordy, what's next? The patient was sent 2 radiology 4 a chest x-ray? God forbid.
Those are the reasons I do shop SM
at Target. I have a huge problem with the Salvation Army's practices (be our religion, go to OUR church, adhere to OUR values, or stay cold), I think our government ought to be the ones supporting the military since they sent them where they are, and as for supporting gay and lesbian rights, I think that is a good thing. I'm not sure exactly how you phrased that.
That's why I don't shop there anymore. sm
Years ago, they had this wonderful vanilla almond lotion. Discontinued. Then a delicious pineapple-mango lotion/body lotion/body butter. I bought it in everything they had. Discontinued. The last time did it for me. Why do they do that! 
WE go to a sandwich shop
and they call us by name; oh my goodness somewhat might know I'm there for a cheesesteak! I don't fret though! Because no one knows what I ordered.
I've seen other people's names on the lists at offices too, but I try to mind my own business... 
Only when the desktop has to go into the shop,
and I have to move operations over to the laptop. I just plug my regular keyboard in, which is a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000. I like this keyboard; it's cheap, so when I inevitably kill it (I am hard on keyboards; must be a hold-over from having learned to type on a manual typewriter back in the stone age) it doesn't cost a lot to replace. (I'm on my second one.) And it has a decent enough touch. The curve is just enough to straighten my wrists out to a neutral position, but not so much that I feel like I'm typing on an alien machine.
Just wondering where you'll shop...
I think Wal-Mart's changes in hiring and benefits is dispicable. Wal-Mart is all we have in the small town we're in. Will you shop at K-Mart or Target, and what store for food? I'll have to go about 30 miles for the nearest K-Mart, but I feel that strong about not shopping at Wal-Mart. I always liked how they had the food store in with the regular retail store, so I'll have to find a grocery store too.
Thanks!
Fine, you shop where you want to and I'll do the same
nm
I know, those all make me want to shop at Target
in my state, there is also this to contend with:

Jees. Ya can't win for losing, can you?
Still shop at Target at little bit (*never* Walmart), but I'm really going to try to make it much more exclusively Costco now.
Ask your local bike shop sm
They have the most bicycle knowledge and are truly helpful. If you can afford to get one, a bike shop bike would be much more practical (and able to actually be repaired) versus a mass-market store bike.
Check to see if there is a consignment shop...
in your area, especially if the children are small, as they outgrow everything so quickly. These are "gently used" clothing at way less than the original price, and are usually listed in the Yellow Pages.
Spi opens shop in Vietnam
The latest newsletter states Spi (formerly Cymed) has opened up shop in Vietnam. I guess they have run out of shops in India and the Philippines. I asked a vet if they speak any better English than the other two and he said NO. I guess I give up on finding a good QA position with headquarters in the good old US of A.
Sweat shop labor
We can all clearly see the run around by various layers of quality control when work goes offshore, and what it really costs. But the thing is that as more and more corporations offshore their products, they are able to skirt strict regulations in the U.S. For instance, as we already see the advantage of India doing transcription while we sleep here in the US, they don't have labor laws as we do. A corporation here in the US dealing with American workers has to deal with lots of regulations such as labor laws, state compensation for injuries for employees, etc. These regulations cost money to the company. In countries like India, China, the Phillipines, there are no labor laws such as in the U.S. If a company says a worker must work 12 hours a day with no benefits or breaks, you can be sure these people will do this, and are sometimes grateful where no job existed before. If working conditions are intolerable, there is no agency that protects the people. You can see how American corporations are motivated to send work offshore and not deal with US regulations and laws that cost the company money. Yes, exploitation at its finest. However, I saw a documentary recently by Lisa Ling on TV where it showed that many women in third world countries are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with working conditions. The documentary followed different women and what they must do to have a job in the city. Many women leave their children far away in another city at home with the grandparents. These women travel and live in the city to work for a few dollars a day. They must work weekends, holidays, and may travel back home once a month to give the money they make to their families. These women were interviewed and were questioning whether having a job far away from a rural town was worth it with no time off for the holidays, and missing their children and families. So you see, these people are getting restless too, and want time off on their holidays and family time just as much as we do. I have no doubt in time there were be a rising in advocacy for labor laws in these countries.
That's ridiculous. You won't shop at Walmart for something that you think you heard
that may or may not be true. You know I'm not a regular Walmart shopper but this is just plain stupid trying to smear a company that employs thousands of older and unfortunate Americans who may not have a job without Walmart. What's your beef with Walmart that you would post junk like this?
Rumor, truth, whatever, I'll still shop
at Wal-Mart because that's where I can afford to go. 
Shop for a "USB to game port adapter".
Staples, Radio Shack or Office Max should have them. ebay should have them. If not, Google for a seller.
Did anyone watch Frontline last night? I will NEVER shop in Wal-Mart again.
Cheap prices will not mean a thing if the middle class U.S. population is out of work. I'd rather see my neighbors with a job and pay Target prices
I read in McCalls once that you don't tip for hair if it is owner of shop.

My friends with large families shop at Walmart. I don't. I can't compare
prices or taste. These are not ignorant poor folk who don't know better shopping at Walmart. Walmart has definitely cut into the supermarkets business. Bottom line here folks, people are making Walmart successful and they keep growing. Not for nothing are people shopping at Walmart. They have to be offering something to the shopper.
Any tattoo shop mostly, hot topic, sally's beauty supply...SM
Any place that pierces, head shop, etc. Hope that helps.
Awesome! Here, a local computer repair shop has a similar commercial. Its really funny. nm

Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.
It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.
We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.
It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
I have noticed sometimes I will try to get into a web site and that site will freeze up and I dont
know if I have too many screens opened up and minimized or what. I tried to open a website sent by email and froze up the email screen. Not sure what I am doing.
I subscribe to another web site and within the boards on this site they have
Would anybody be interested if adminstrators would allow us to have this type of board or even put it on the main board. Like on this other board they tell you to go to a certain web site for a coupon for 20% off Barnes and Noble or when Target has reduced prices on seasonal things. Anybody got ideas or bargains they would like to share to save money? We could call it the MT Stars penny-pinchers board.
I do! I usually get mine at The Body Shop and Bath and Body Works. Thanks for posting that link. Do

I have never been asked to show a receipt at Walmart. Is the Walmart you shop in a bad neighborhood
And the expensive stuff has an alarm on it for the cashier to take off. No receipt check. Just a greeter saying good-bye.
Might be able to rent one from an office supply or office machine repair shop

Is there ONE pedal I can buy that will work with ALL platforms? And where do I shop for a pedal?

Shop around before getting cobra. If you are leaving a job, you can get cobra. I am in the process
Cobra is almost $600 for you and children, I found a month to month coverage by shopping on internet, covers 2 visits a year (I only need it 3 months) and is less than $300. Less expensive coverage than cobra is out there
need web site
Does anyone have a link for a good website for surgical references, op note references.
other site
unfortunately I'm pretty new here and don't know the other big web site, but would like to know what it is so I, too can see what other MQers are saying about this weekend....

MT Chat
Job site
Does anyone know the site that is from A-Z with MT jobs posted? I certainly do appreciate your help.
what site is it?
buddies at work and it won't copy...
Go on their web site and see what
they really are. (They also provide MTStars.) They are a service for private contractors and service owners so as not to have to buy lots of and lots of electronic equipment but can use their servers, etc. They are not a transcription service, it sounds like to me. If you read what they say, the provide a number for your doctors to call and then you can transcribe it or download it for 10 cents a minue (1 cent a line) and not have to buy a system yourself. At least that is what it looks like to me.
I don't think there is a web site to
check it out - software is developed by in-house tech support. It is not perfect (nothing in this life is) but is a good tool to use in this job and I'm very happy with it. DRC has been a good place for me for the last 2 years or so.
There should be a web site
listing all these crap companies who won't pay. If I bounced a check at my local mom & pop pizza joint, you can bet it would be pinned to the wall for all to see.
However, back to the OP: The thing I would worry about would be the OP getting stiffed for the money AND getting a 1099 that included that sum. That would be a real kick in the pants.
Oh I will look at that site and see sm
if it has the wheelwriter or selectric on there. If so, I will definitely buy it!
on WM's site .. sm
Maybe you just didn't notice it. If you make a quick trip to the website and look at most any item, you should see it. Sometimes says similar items, similar artists, etc.
The story was on MSNBC so I think it is true. I'm surprised so many would jump and call someone else a liar without checking facts first. Washington Post released WM's apology at 8:24 this morning so I'm sure it was in other news segments as well.
FWIW, I agree with the OP that it was probably someone with extra time on their hands up to no good.
Here's one site that has (sm)
some different cuts. Lots of tips on selecting a cut too!
PA site
Try the AAPA website--there's a FAQ portion that tells all about PAs and what they do.

What does FTP site mean?
Thanks!
Does the site have...
XXXXXX If so, I've been banned, too! If so, totally a case of "The Ego Has Landed."
FTP site
Is is difficult to learn how to operate a FTP site and how would one go about it? It is all new to me and I'm a bit apprehensive.
Yes, you can, go to the IRS site and they have - sm
and electronic payment system. You can have money paid to them every week, month, etc. I set up an account and was going to do about $50 a week, but alas I have not made any payments as yet. I usually don't owe though as my DH takes enough out of his taxes to cover mine. I will only start making payments if I go over a certain monthly income, since then I will probably owe and I don't want that.

This is where I got the bracelets. http://www.magneticjewelry.name/
Didn't save the ring site so got to find that one again. Don't know about what's in the bracelets, but the rings have worn some and look like them might be copper. They were gold and silver when new, but underside has worn to look like copper. Rings were $13.00 each. Bracelets were probable about that 15-20. Really don't remember. I didn't get the cheapest or the most expensive.
Here's a site that might help..
It has a lot of info on WP12, and some info on default settings. Maybe go to tools - settings - dialog box and see if you change it there.
