OMG Kathryn:) 270 almost a breeze? lol. GOOD FOR YOU!!! You are inspirational, and I truly hope I can say the same someday:)

And just my two cents, Sonja; I don't think any other schools or theories are up to day with the world of steno today, except Mark's. NO ONE TALKS 180. lol. The reason I say that is because I just graduated three years ago, and I am STILL trying ot shorten my writing and go faster. Though my writing is getting better, It's very hard to work and edit and practice briefs and speed. And I still am not able to Realtime yet! And it's like anything else with our world now; everyone wants everything as fast as they can get it. I.e., attorneys want the depos over as soon as possible, which means they talk REALLY FAST. And, the sooner you can give them the transcript, the happier they are with you and are likely to choose you over others again! One of my favorite things of reporting is being requested by clients. So, if I could do it all over, I would absolutely, 100% pick Marks' theory to learn first, so I was writing very comfortable at depos and phrased many more things than I do at the moment. Then my job would be much less stressful!!!!

Good luck in whatever you do, but this group is full of wonderful and awesome people/reporters. The advice they give is invaluable:)

Sorry, friends, the site was down starting Saturday morning, and as of Sunday afternoon, still down. Did the web host (HIT Web design) warn us? No. Did they say when it would be back online? No. Am I a happy customer? No.

Sonja

Phoenix is a great theory, IF no one ever talks above 150wpm. But that's not the real world. It's SO stroke-intensive, it makes it EXTREMELY difficult to graduate at 225, and nearly impossible to get to 260 or 280 unless one does exactly what was trying to be avoided - learn hundreds, then thousands of briefs.

Also, Phoenix students learn their theory, then speed-build 100% of the time. People who learn my theory, they can speed-build half of the time, and memorize briefs the other half, AND they'll get out of school much more quickly. It's a win-win-win-win with my theory: Practice more enjoyable, writing more enjoyable, graduate quickly, gain high speeds easily.

Yeah, I got in too!!
Congrats Stenoray!! Kudos to you!!
I did have to go through the cached pages of Google to sign in though. I clicked on the original link and I, too, had that funky Index page appear. What's up with that?
