FYI: By skinny, I'm talking about a size 3 1/2 wedding ring.

I do but they're very skinny fingers! Plus I started briefing words that start with DES with the initial STK, and those wide keys make it much easier.
EX: destination = SDAIGS
desire = SDAOEUR
diagnostic = SDIK

You get the idea

Monti, I LOVE the pic!! Brenda's right, I wouldn't dare erase it.

I saw him attempt the record in Reno. I think it was in 2004. That's what I remember most, too, Sheila. It was amazing, and of course not giving up and going at it again and succeeding gives us all courage to do the same.

Well, not to write 360 maybe, but to at least get faster. :)

Sheila, if the machine comes back again and you have the same stacking issues, I suggest you go to the top of the company and request a new machine. That's just not acceptable. You know I came off a Smartwriter, too, and the only time it stacked is when it was my own fault, which wasn't all that common.

Signed: Dorkie Mom No. 1 (Hi, Alexis!)

Oh, and I'm curious about the wide S-, too, April. I've always wanted it to be split and not attached, BUT what good is it wide?
Comment by Brenda Rogers on April 17, 2009 at 10:07
April, I've just gotta ask. Why a wide key on S? You have a finger for that key.
Comment by April McMillan, CRR, RPR, CSR on April 17, 2009 at 9:23
Good for you, Jenny. I've been using the wide keys forever at the initial S, the middle * bank, and the final -DZ. You'll have many more options now for writing.
Good Luck!

Hi, Tami:

I was in Chicago and watched Mark break the speed record. That's the thing I remember most about that convention.

I traded my old Smart Writer in that I did all my speed contests. That was the best writing machine ever built! I wouldn't dare compete with the Mira models. I guess my reflexes are too fast for it. It keeps stacking on me. I sent my new A3 in after using it for a month. I told Stenograph to fix the problems. We'll see if they did. I'm still waiting for its return. If they don't fix it, I'll try Steno Doctor.
As far as competing again in speed contests, it's just way too much work!

She wouldn't dare!

Alexis, Mark showed that video in Portland last month. It's so cool! I thought it was a part of all his seminars.
