Are there any other captioners on here who made the transition from a standard writer to the Gemini? I have a couple questions for you, if you don't mind :-D<br />

I agree w/Heather on the raised vowels, although I think Jason did mention he may make that 'standard'. I still have mine the old way, but if I ever send it in for something I will probably change them then. I use leather keypads myself, Heather! LOVE them!!! I use the small bag that came w/it for my laptop now. Have since had two bags...my current is a small luggage bag (w/a matching purse, lol) that I got this summer.

I'm a Gemini lover for years!!! LOVE the Grand!<br />

I'm not sure if you're talking about the customization stuff that Jason does, like the extra keys or raised vowels, etc., but I don't think he charges for any of that. The only real "option" I think there is is the UMPC. Read back a couple pages about that. You can technically use it without the UMPC and just run the Steno Sync software on your laptop to create your backup or you can use the UMPC to have a stand-alone backup. And if you use keypads now, stick them on first thing! Any new…

<br />
I highly recommend the raised vowel keys. More on that in a thread titled "Gemini Grand first (and second) impressions."<br />
<br />
The basic bag that comes with it is too small to be useful. So if you think you might want a bag you might want to check out the deluxe one.. not sure how much it fits but worth looking at.<br />
<br />
BTW, you won't regret it. I LOVE my Grand!<br />

I am going to order it pronto. I played on it at a convention in Texas. Does anyone have any suggestions about what to definitely "add on" or things you got and paid for that you could probably do without? I'm used to taking my laptop and having internet access all day and so I want to get every feature they offer that I will actually use and already use now with my other equipment.<br />
And I'm leaning towards the Lexus red, too! Love it.

Terrie, I've had a Grand for over a year. I use a netbook for my laptop. I also have the kiosk computer. I have done depos with just my writer and my netbook. It all fits in one bag and is very light.<br />

I see you are in Los Angeles. I am in Newport Beach. I work in Los Angeles quite often and would be very happy to bring my writer to you for you to play with and try the touch, if you would like. Also, which freeway are you off of? I go up to Thousand Oaks periodically because my daughter is at…

Rhoda, I still remember (can never forget) the very first time I brought my laptop to a deposition way back in the time when realtime first started. The attorney leaned over and peeked at my laptop, and I panicked and SLAMMED the top down. It was a reflex action, honestly! He jumped back so fast. Needless to say, I apologized and tried to explain my panic. But it was very scary. Now I still don't like it, but I don't get so freaked out.<br />

Neat, I was never sure if you could record audio in SS and your CAT at the same time. Nice. The more Ithink about it, the more I'm thinking about ditching the Viliv and upgrading the laptop.

Thanks for all the great info. That helped a lot. LOL @ atty's cannot 'hover' over you and be 'reading' what you are writing. I hate it when they do that to me too! lol!
