I already have a bunch of stuff from simplysteno.com. I have the $140.00 Realtime Coach. Do you all know of any other practice material (besides Steno Magnum which is $30.00 a month) that is cheap. I know $30.00 a month isn't much but right this minute it is too much for me. I am at RPR level, but I want more intense and material and variety than I have.See More

Mary Jo Cochran replied to Mary Smith's discussion Maltron Ergonomic stenography?

"Mary, if you want a steno price at a price that you can buy (without thinking of selling your car), the super-cheapest is a Stenoram II. Otherwise, as Glen says, the Procat Flash at $1,100 is the best way to go. I would skip the Stenturas too,…"

"Hi, Mary Jo. I've always lived in Virginia, but I had a lot of work in North Carolina at one time, so yes, I went down there and took that silly class. No offense to North Carolina notaries, but once you take it you'll realize…"

Mary Jo Cochran replied to Kerry's discussion Car insurance

"For anyone who doesn't know it, having a windshield replaced at insurance expense is considered a claim - and it counts. A few years ago I had Amica (very cheap). I paid late and they dropped me."

At 16:55 on April 8, 2012, Kelli Combs (admin) said…: Actually, the one I posted below is not USB, just noticed that. I got mine through eBay and that one is USB. I don't know if the one below that hooks into your microphone jack works as well. Just wanted to give you that just in case. May want to find it on eBay.

Here is the link to the one I actually bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CM-1000USB-PC-Conference-Microphone-with-Daisy-Chain-Capablity-CVI-/200738639339?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ebcf48deb#ht_1042wt_708

You don't have to ask to be a member of the Brief Group. You just joined so you are a member.

Got your message. Not quite sure I understood it. I think Glen was just kidding about the old lady comment. I am just a few years behind you.

I would love to hear your story, though. My personal email is kellikellikay@aol.com if you ever want to share.

Hope you have a great year, Mary Jo! Take care!
