Hi, Elsie.

Thanks so much for the lovely message! Yes, we will keep each other posted on our progress through this wonderful, challenging court reporting journey! :)

No, I haven't had the pleasure yet of going to a conference, but I'll definitely look into it more the next time a local one comes my way. Thanks for the recommendation!

OK, have a great week at school, Elsie! Talk to you later.

Hi Elsie,
The LS works great with Eclipse. Brenda Rogers uses the LS with Eclipse, and I think others on this site do, too. I'm selling it, because I have problems with my thumbs that gets aggravated using a flat keyboard like the LS and my laptop computer. I, personally, think it would be a good idea to start using a professional writer when you can so that you'll be so used to the writer when you're ready to work that it will be a smooth transition. I'm saying that whether you decide on a LS or any other writer. If you decide on the LS, there is a website that LS users have uploaded their configuration setting to. That saved me hours and hours of adjusting keys.

Let me know if you're interested in the LS, or I also have a Mira A3 that I'm going to sell for $2,500. That has the audio backup.

I ended up buying the new Diamante writer, so I now have too many writers.

Try out diffferent writers if you get the chance, and see what feels best to you.

Hi, Elise!

I'm a court reporting student, too. I'm sort of like you too... I work as a legal assistant now. School full-time, work part-time.

How's school going? What speed are you in? I go to Tri-Community, and I just got into the 180 speed class.

Please check out my blog when you get a chance -- stenonerd.blogspot.com. I chronicle my court reporting journey there and hope to be an encouragement to fellow court reporting students. Thanks in advance!

I hope you have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :D
