I haven't used one in a long time, but

Subject: I haven't used one in a long time, but

I would either call tech support for Sony, I was trying to google and troubleshoot that way, but couldn't find anything, or find an office repair shop in your area as some of them still fix those machines, that way you don't have to go out and buy one.  Or if you have work you have to do now, I have had to go out and get one in an emergency just to finish the work while I got mine repaired, then had a back-up machine.  They really don't make a good machine anymore and they break down frequently, in my opinion.  I don't know how long you have had yours or how many hours a day you're on it, but it might be time to replace it.  Sorry, I wish I had a clear-cut solution to tell you.  It's so frustrating when our equipment fails us and we have so much work to get done.

This is not an account where I have any editorial leeway.  The doctor states, "She was evaluated by an orthopedist, who kind of poo-poo'ed the patient's complaints and apparently did not do an x-ray exam."


Opinions on how to spell "poo-poo'ed?"  


Thanks!
