I am a CR student and am looking at pro writers and laptops.  I have a good desktop that I will use at home so only need a laptop that is "good enough" for jobs.  Any suggestion on laptop brands?  Also, which is preferred, a laptop mic or a writer mic?  I'm thinking used writers, possibly a Steno Fusion, and will definitely use CaseCat.  

  Gracias!         

Hi Everybody,

I am a student in the 160-180 speed--woohoo!! I am so happy to be nearing the end of my school career and looking forward to getting out in to the real world.  I'm wondering if anybody out there can tell me what the freelance field is like in the Sacrmento area right now?  Is it feast or famine?  Somewhere in between? 

Also, I am still using my Protege student writer.  I am planning on keeping it as a back-up but not sure what type of writer to…
