Have you been down to NC to visit yet? Do you have family here?
I LOVE the Raleigh area - been here since I left Upstate (lived in Canajoharie, exit 29 Thruway) for college in 1983.
If you come to visit, please let me know so I can meet with you in person.
As for the rest... a private email later on in the day, okay?
Just wanted to drop you a line... I'll be out of town all next week (Montgomery County, NC - 2 hours+ away) and may not have the time to really do an in-depth answer to your questions.
Hi, Kwanna...
I'll be out of town that weekend, in Nashville, TN, visiting my brother and attending the voice writer convention (NVRA).
FYI,it's DURHAM, not DERM. Even though it SOUNDS like "derm" :)
I'll be back in touch next weekend, I hope. and maybe sooner if court breaks down early. :)
I got them from Top Cat Steno. I actually bought them on eBay from Top Cat. You can get them either way.
They say they're smaller than some of the others, which is great.
I find Stenographs are too big and end up touching other keys and bringing them down. I've had to rip them in the middle of a job because I'm getting mistrokes.
I like Tami's idea of doubling or tripling up the vowels. I tried Johnny Jackson's machine at one of the conventions. I really liked the feel.
I love key pads & can't stand to work without them.
After using the keypads from Top Cat, the top layer is starting to separate. Did you already order them? I hope not. I just ordered the rubber ones from Pengad. I know I've used them before and had no problems with them.
I think Charlotte is the biggest city in NC and the closest you'd get to your hometown... but that's not to say it's a lot like NYC! However, it does have the feel of a bigger city. Charlotte has some good opportunities. Don't know the cost of living there, though. Definitely come down and scope it out! ;)
They have a good company that they use that offers a lease to buy program. That's what I did when I first got my license and bought Eclipse. My payments are $131 a month. I wouldn't recommend buying it from somebody because you might need the support when you first start off and you won't get it unless you pay a transfer fee! Call them and see what options they have available! I recommend Susquehanna as the leasing company!
Hi, Kwanna. I had a momentary bout of buyer'$ remor$e. It's a lot of money, and I really do feel it is a permanent decision. I also spoke with a competitor's representative yesterday. The phone call left me unsettled, because I was told that the other software resolves conflicts just as well. I went back and looked through all of my information and notes, and I just can't accept that as fact.
I am fully committed now. If you have a lot of conflicts, then I absolutely think you made the right choice. That is what Eclipse does well.
Are you contemplating the professional or student version? If you get the student version, they will allow you to make quarterly payments, which are about $100 each.

How about these:
PR-T for precinct or P-RT
TK-Z for disease
TK-G for diagnose
TK-GS for diagnosis
Let me know if you have any conflicts, and I'll come up with others.

Here's a link to the pads on eBay. I hope the link works.

I'm selling my writer because I only need one! The one I'm selling is a spare.
