Alan,

Welcome to this fun and informative site! I've been meaning to email you regarding the Grand - just spotted your activity on the main page. How's the Grand working for you these days? I've got my real one now, and I'll take it to it's third depo this afternoon. I was wondering if you've turned the screws on the back of it all the way to make it super easy to stroke? I just discovered these screws a couple weeks ago, and I really think it makes a difference. My stroke is very long now so I have just a little stacking. I'd like to shorten it up one day soon, though, now that I know about the screws in the back. I think you'll like this site. There's some good posts going in the Total Eclipse group and the new Magnum Steno group here.

I hear ya regarding the retweaking. Carolyn White is still tweaking hers, and she's had it a long, long time! I'm assuming you use the number bar. I write my numbers out. I just got the wise idea to make my request an A/B macro to S-BZ, T-BZ, etc. instead of 1-BZ, 2-BZ so it's easier to hit. Also the choose 1, choose 2 Global Magic and conflict choices went from 1-RBGS 2-RBGS to S*Z, T*Z. I hope we both hurry up and finish tweaking. I'm thoroughly sick of it!
