So you tried out the Grand! I'm almost done tweaking mine, I hope! I'm selling my LightSpeed. Know anyone interested? I haven't advertised it yet. It's white and works great.
Hey, Clay got a Flash from a reporter who was just sweet enough to give it to him. He hasn't been using it, but the Smartwriter is in desperate need of a service, so while I had my Mira worked on last week, I took in the Flash, put on wide keys, raised the vowels, and, Man, the touch is incredible!
I think he had it shimmed before. The touch is really right there with my Mira.
Anyway, here's my question.
It has been converted to paperless and only writes to -- is it a SD card??
I know there's no floppy.
So if realtime crashes, how do you read off of that card??
Clay is really wanting to convert to that machine, but we still need to figure out if it's "safe."
I knew you're the one to ask, and I appreciate your help.
Glen,
Thanks, you are being very helpful. I did order the student edition software from stenovations the other day, ($35.00). I am still waiting impatiently for my machine and accessories. They should be here within the next few days. By the way, what do you think of on-line schooling or do you know of any good court reporting schools in the Florida area. The school that I am thinking about attending is already giving me bad vibes. They actually don't seem like they know what they are even doing let alone return phone calls. Oh Well.
Talk Later,
Therese
Glen,
I haven't even seen the phoenix books yet, the school I will be attending told me that they won't be ordeing them until mid-summer. I went to E-Bay, but didn't win the bid. I guess thats a good thing because I am not sure what current books really need. The one on E-Bay was edited in 1997. The school, located in Florida, so far does not impress me. Luckily I haven't enrolled yet. Thanks again. I already ordered new refurbished equipment with all the accessories, so until then I can't do much practicing as my old machine has lost its touch.
Thank again.
I think it's really for working reporters and very high-speed students. It's screamin' fast. It would completely challenge me on a good day and make me cry on a bad one. :)
If I ever make it back to a speed competition, I'll be signing up for it a couple months before.
Glen, that folder share stuff sounds perfect for me, but I'll have to read it again later after more food and coffee. My head kind of exploded as I read that thread, having just gotten up.
Glen, I'm downloading counterspy right now on my own big HP. Have you tried it? A few days ago I installed those other two virus protection sites on the Mini and ran them. Yesterday I gave the Mini to my sister. We set up the wireless Internet and a network for her - I'm happy to report! Poor Judy! I hope she posts back to say all is well with her computer. Now April and I are on the lookout for the best free and easy online file backups. Any favorites??? (I haven't done any investigation on this yet. Feel free to tell me to do my own legwork!) Thanks again for all your help! ps: April reported this morning: "I'm writing this on the mini! I turned it on when we sat down to breakfast! I absolutely LOVE this laptop!"
Wow, thanks so much for all that info. I'll investigate and load something tomorrow! So happy I jumped on the computer again tonight just when you posted me. One more thing almost crossed off my to-do list and all because of your help! Now I can dream easy - no more computer warnings about not having any virus protection. It was making me totally paranoid!
Glen, I just got the HP Mini and loaded all my programs on it. I need some virus protection, I guess. I just started using Firefox. I searched for AVG and found a post of yours on depoman. Any advice for me??? It's got XP Home with 2 gigs of RAM.

I'll cut and paste your comment over on Clay's page. I know he's anxious to start using the machine.

Can't get any more challenging than that. I listened to Clay's one day. Oh my!!
Clay's ready. He wants to work sooooo bad. Sure beats having a kid who wants to play video games all day.
Of course I think this job is a lot like a video game. :)
Thanks so much!!!
