Kathy, thanks for responding. Everyone keeps saying how great the Smartwriter is. I won't be a bigtime court reporter and I don't want to spend a lot of money - so that may be what I get. Thanks again.

Hi Mary Jo......I was non computer too, for a long time..I went to school waaaay back when and thought it was going to be so tough to learn...But it wasn't.. I have a Smart Writer. And I love that too. It's a great writer that I've had for longer than I care to admit and have NEVER had any problem whatsoever.

No problem. I just don't know what to do with it. It's completely usable, so I don't want to toss it.<br />

Veronica - thanks a whole bunch, but I don't need it. I do have the Stenoram II, just got it from JM Steno, so it should be okay. I will find out once I get on computer. I just want something better and newer, but not brand new.

Mary Jo, I have an old Transcriptor TX (Baron) that I used for 15 years that is still perfectly functional, except for the floppy drive - doesn't work; can't be fixed. If you are plugging directly into a laptop, it will work fine. It produces perfect paper notes and is completely manual if you so choose. If you are interested, please give me an email or a call. I no longer use it because of my wrists - I have a Revolution Grand by the Neutrino Group that I use now.<br />

Hi, Mary Jo.<br />
<br />
My first encounter with a 3.5" floppy was not a good one: I put it in my shirt pocket, and the static from my cotton t-shirt and ... well, whatever that outer shirt was made of, wiped that floppy clean!<br />
<br />
Besides ... I don't see a lot of places selling floppies anymore.<br />
<br />
Yes, the StenoRAM uses RAM. Can't recall how much it holds, though. It should be around 200 pages -- no, check that; it's <a href="http://www.acculaw.com/stenograph-stenoram-ultra-gray.aspx" target="_blank">400…</a>

Non computer means exactly that. I got my AA back in 1981 and passed the RPR just before finishing school. Computer writing wasn't even out then. I quit back and went to work as a legal assistant in 1991.<br />
<br />
I am not yet set up on computer. Most likely I will go with DigitalCat because it has free student download and easy payments. I need to get set up with DigitalCat, learn how to use it, get a dictionary started, and be sure of my writing before I look for a job. I'm planning on…

Actually, I like the Stenoram II. It look sturdy. But the notes are "smudged lined." And I seem to be missing the vowels. The + sign shows I hit, but is poor quality on the paper. I'm inclined to think it's the machine.<br />
<br />
I am not going to be a long term, full time, makealotofmoney reporter. If I ever get a teaching job I will be a teacher. So all I want is a nice writer, reliable, makes good clear notes, and serves the purpose.

Mary Jo, are you hooking up to a laptop? You say you are non-computer. What do you mean? If you hook up to a laptop, you don't need any ram or floppy. Clarify for me so if I am able to help, I'll know how.<br />

I kind of like floppys. I can take it out and put it in my purse.<br />

What does the Stenoram II use? Isn't that Ram? It may not be much, but it must be 200 pages or so.

Hi, Mary Jo.<br />
<br />
The Stentura 400/500 uses RAM instead of the floppy, and the ProCAT Flash uses a memory card, which holds 700 plus pages.<br />
<br />
When you get a chance, check out my <a href="http://www.cheapandsleazy.net/flash.html" target="_blank">review</a> of my ProCAT Flash.<br />
<br />
As far as the Mira goes, you might want to take a look at the Mira group here on CSR Nation. Lots of people are complaining about stacking issues -- and it doesn't seem to matter which Mira they have!<br />
<br />
Hope that helps…
