I'm waiting for my keyboard now for two weeks, when I was told it would take two days.  I just spent 300 hundred bucks on this thing, i've called several times, there is a tracking number and everything, but no one seems to know where my package is??  Just wondering if anyone has ordered successfully from these people and if I should just be patient.  This is why I do not order on line very much!

Comfort Standard keyboard
SM lead me to the website that sells several different keyboards. The one I'd be ordering (if I had any money...ha-ha!) would be the Comfort Standard. Check out www.sforh.com/keyboards/split and you'll see which one I'm talking about. It's $$350, so I guess I'll just have my old one fixed and save up the money for the Comfort Standard. :)

Microsoft® Wireless Comfort Keyboard 1.0A...sm
Model 1027.  Lots of added bonus keys if you are an avid gamer.
Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 keyboard
I read where some MTs were enjoying this keyboard, and they are quite inexpensive, so DH picked one up for me at Tiger Direct. Whoever recommended it is right; it has an quick touch for me and you can switch from a straight keyboard and it won't slow you down like most of the ergonomic keyboards. I usually like a very clicky touch, and this isn't like that. But the key action is quick and you barely have to touch them to activate the keys. The backspace is double-wide too. Since there is no space in the middle like so many ergonomic keyboards, there is no issue about reaching the 6 with your preferred hand, either.
My comfort keyboard does. I type in the neutral, "handshake"

Tried to order a keyboard from Dell.

Had ordered several from them before on line because I like their keyboards.


Went to their site, tried to pull up my order history, but it didn't work, so I called.  I wound up with someone SOMEWHERE in the world (not the USA), explained that I needed to order the same keyboard I ordered before.  (They had added new ones, so I wasn't sure which one I had ordered, and I couldn't pull up my past order history.)


Anyway, she kept asking me if I was using my business or personal credit card.  I explained my situation to her, that it was just a keyboard, and I wanted to put it on my credit card, but she still kept asking if it was business or personal, so much, in fact, that I became very leery of dealing with her, wound up telling her so and HUNG UP.


Turns out I had to buy a new computer in the last couple of weeks.  My choice WOULD have been Dell, but after my previous experience, I bought an Acer instead and LOVE it.  It's a LOT cheaper and works just fine.


I sometimes feel like the "queen" of on-line ordering, and I've never, ever had an experience with ordering on line that gave me such a negative "gut feeling" as I had with Dell.


All I can say is be very, very careful.


MT comfort

Sorry to hear of your RA. I know it can be very painful and you are right, we have a job where no one sees us and who cares what we are wearing or where we do our work as long as we are happy,comfortable and productive.


I've never tried working outside but I do like the window open on a nice day to let  in the breeze and the sun. Generally work evenings so spend a lot of time outside during the daytime anyway. Often thought of getting an RV and being a mobile MT.


That would be a lot of fun I think as long as you have a good reliable broadband connection and your computer was easily transported. That way you could be a snow bird in the winter and come north in the summer or whatever and do it in the comfort of an RV. RV sales are down though. I wonder why???


Does anyone have a Comfort Select bed and if so...how do you like it? nm

Sleep Comfort Bed
We bought a Select Comfort bed. It is wonderful.  My husband had really bad back problems but since getting the Select Comfort he has not had any problems (except when we sleep away from home). He loves it and recommends it to everyone!
Comfort Zone
Yes -- so true!  This board is a comfort zone for MTs new, seasoned and everything in between.  I'm so glad it is here and available 24/7.  The help and support is wonderful!  Nice to know there are people on your side!

Question about comfort
I had read somewhere about noise-cancelling headsets being uncomfortable and hot on the ears. Any problem like that with the Bose?
Bose Quiet Comfort 2 - now they have a new
version which supposedly is even better - QC3. They are AMAZING. They do block out background noise, though its subtle. And the clarity is amazing! I can hear what the doctor is thinking!
No, it isn't. Google comfort keyboards.

Bose quiet comfort 2
Pricey but worth it. Blocks out family's TV noise, muffles sound of vacuum cleaner, makes barely audible dictation clearer.

I wore one, but by all means DO WHAT YOU WANT! Your comfort is what matters.:-) nm

I want the Hyundai Santa Fe. Luxury and comfort
for a SUV. Rent one for a day or so before you buy, that way you can really tell if you like it. We usually rent something that we're thinking of buying when we go on vacation.
My kids LOVE that! Comfort food for them. nm

Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000?

More about keyboards ... I don't think I would like the big MS 4000, because when I tested out large ones in the store one day, it felt too big and awkward for me; however, I did try a smaller one with just a slight curve that felt quite good.  (Unfortunately, I don't remember what make/model it was as I was not really shopping for one at the time.)


When looking around the web, it looks like it might have been the MS Comfort Curve 2000.  Does anyone have any experience with that one? 


Thanks for any feedback. 


Bose headphone Quiet Comfort 2 or 3 better?
Anyone tried both and have a preference?  Any positives or negatives (besides the outrageous price?)  I bought the Quiet Comfort 2 in the store after trying the demo model of the QC 3.  I thought the over the ear would be better for blocking noise, but I am not certain they are as good as the QC3 (on the ear).  I just want a pair of headphones that will block out my kids being home this summer, as I have to work in the dinning room corner and I hear everything.  Might try a different brand/model all together because for 300-350 dollars I am not the Bose are worth it.  Thanks for your input! 
Zeshan Ahmed from Pakistan. He posted it right here. I have zero comfort

If you use a standard keyboard you can buy an old IBM model M keyboard on ebay or clickykeyboards.co

That key printing never wear down because the letters are part of the key itself.  They just don't make them that way anymore because it is too expensive to make.  Some of the mechanical keyboards like Cherry have what they double shot key imprinting and the letters are part of the key itself and don't wear off. That IBM keyboard is very noisy from the type of keyswitch it has so you may not like that.  Logitech and Belkin make some membrane switch keyboards that are supposed to have longer lasting key imprints.  I have a logitech that has the longer lasting key imprints and it is pretty good.  You have to look on the specs to find out if has the longer lasting key printing.


I have experimented so much with keyboards and have done a lot of research.  Way too much info.  


 


I use a laptop with a full-size keyboard (no separate keyboard)
I'm using a lap desk but previously was using a pillow with a book on it under the laptop. No additional keyboard though, I bought one with a full-sized board with regular size keys (an HP) which I LOVE and it took no time at all to get used to it. I also love that when the weather improves, I can take my computer outside and get some fresh air! What a great job... :)
Keyboard and mouse. Is there such a thing as a keyboard that has a mouse on the actual keyboard?

I can understand how incredible it seems that fast food chains are outsourcing BPO services, BUT IT IS TRUE.
Will never order a Dell again

I ordered an XPS400, over $1,000, with extras.  I was assured this had a 15-pin game port for transcription, did not need to have it added on.  Get it in the mail today and no game port.  There is a 15-pin port, but the monitor is on it.  They said it included a DVI adaptor for the monitor, said it was included, but it is not.  So I tried Delll Chat and was not able to get through, was told I was not a customer. 


whoops - in order to see them all....sm
in my prior post, in order to see them ALL, you have to scroll all the way down in my prior post.............sorry *L*
Congratulations are again in order...

He just came to get the rest of his belongings!  Two police officers were with him.  It's snowing here, but I put everything and I mean EVERYTHING of his outside.  He took his dog and off he went.  I watched all of it from my livingroom window. 


On a personal note, today is his 28th birthday!  I say Happy Freakin' Birthday and GOOOOOOD RIDDANCE!!!!


Here is a list of emoticons to demonstrate how I'm feeling...  It's the beginning of the end of my marriage and I love it.  Whooooooppppeeeeee!!!!!  Congratulate me!!!!!


It's not in order of just generic???
The drug information is under the generic of the medication. It's in order of brand as well but under brand it says see (generic name) on page --- for the information on it. I love this book and use it constantly.
My first order of business would be...

to desposit an unexpected load in my shorts at winning!  Holy crap that is awesome for you!   I can squeeze the living daylights out of a dollar, and with that kind of cash I'd most definitely put myself down for a sabattacle from the danged keyboard!  I'd invest it, just because I've always wanted to do that but never had nuthin' to work with.  Lame, I know, but I don't call myself "hayseed" for nuthin'! 


Congratulations again!!  Wow!!   


Order new computer without it ....
Was told by computer person not to get it. By the end of the year there would be another update to correct everything that was wrong with Vista.  Same thing happened with Millenium.  I will be waiting for the next update.
