Hi everyone! Thanks for the invite, Tami!

I haven't officially joined Magnumsteno yet, but the taste I have gotten of it has me hooked! I know I am going to get a lot out of it. I'm just not quite sure I am fast enough yet to benefit from the dictation. (I'm in the 150-170 class, and I've only passed a couple JCs--one at 150 and one at 160.)

P.S. Hi Alexis! I hope you get a chance to read this! A little birdie told me Trevor is in qualifiers. Give him a High-5 for me! We miss you guys at Humphreys! Hope you and your family are doing well!

Woo-Hoo!! The gang's all here!!

Sheila, I have the G2. Stenograph did replace it for the first version that I had that was pretty much a lemon. I have been really unhappy with my G2 the past couple years, BUT I am hopeful that the Steno Doctor can turn around my negative feelings for it. They're saying they should be able to fix the stacking and dribbling ails.

Jeannice M. sent her G2 in last month with the same problems I am having, and she has raved on it ever since. That's why I'm giving Steno Doctor a shot at it. I'm ready to start raving.

Did you trade in your old Mira, Sheila?

Does this mean you're headed back to the speed contests?? That is if you get the new machine squared away. I know how frustrating that is.

I don't think all A3s are created equal -- just ask Kelli -- so make sure you act like a squeaky wheel until you get happy.

You'll love some of Mark's shortcuts. Some come so easy, like that -DZ for -ing. It really is one of my all-time favorites.

I should start a discussion on it.

Hi, Tami: Thank you for inviting me to join. I'm all for writing faster and shorter. I'm constantly looking in my brief book for better ways to write. I'm not familiar with Mark's methods. I recently bought an A3 Mira hoping it would be better than my original Mira, but have been very disappointed with this model too.

What writer are you using?

Girls-with-guns club?!? Hmmm...yeah, Monti! We want to see your guns.

Love Mark Kislingbury and the StenoMagnum Program!

Hi, Christine!!

So glad you joined especially since you kicked my rear at the seminar on Saturday. It's obvious the Club has been paying off for you.

I got all excited when Mark said hi to you, Megan, and Sarah this week on the Club.

The "super reporter" thing is so goofy but at the same time so CUTE!

I am a SUPER REPORTER!!!! :)

Oh, and Monti thinks this is a girls-with-guns club. HA!

Monti, why don't you bring your gun and join us. :)

Tami, the Grand does not have the vowel keys in line with the other keys, but in my case that is a good thing. The main reason why I went from a LightSpeed to the Gemini Grand is because the flat keys on the LightSpeed aggravated my thumbs. Several years ago I had a lot of trouble with my thumbs due to editing with a power mouse which was placed on a board in the middle of my lap. It was completely programmable, and I made tons of editing macros, but in the end it messed my thumbs up. I'm glad you are tweaking your writers to best suit you. Just take your breaks!

That's where partners in crime belong, side by side!!
