Amazon jungle...by myself...

Posted By: JoV on 2006-03-17
In Reply to: Poll: What is the best vactation you have ever been on? Where and - what did you do?

was my first time out of the country. I traveled with a group from the local college but didn't take DH or anyone else I knew. Very empowering to travel independently, loads of fun. We zip-lined, cruised the rivers, found jaguar tracks, saw waterfalls and climbed 200 feet tall trees, danced with the natives...a total blast. The jungle is a lot like Wisconsin, actually...the mosquitos in Wisconsin are just as bad as the Amazon.

Welcome to the jungle! sm

What you are making IS your pay.  Not too many companies actually offer up pay for training any longer.  You are expected to suck it up and type faster. 


Leo...must be *queen* of the jungle...

Amazon has it for $65.

eScription won't work with MSWorks.
There's one on Amazon
that I was considering - begins with an S (lots of help I know) but it lights up (can turn off) so that should help you find it Sinetech?

Anyway the reviews are that it is very quiet and has a great touch - so it may be worth reviewing...

I'm going to order it soon - watch for my review ;)
$52 on amazon.com

There is one of these on Amazon right now for $84 - nm

Amazon
I bought books from them before, not for 1.79, but my medical concise dictionary by Stedman's was $10, that was pretty good to me.
Try Amazon
Amazon.com will let you listen to a portion of each track on a CD. I'm not sure if it's all CDs, but everything I have been interested in allowed this.



Be careful if you get an Amazon.
When they reach sexual maturity at about 3-4 years of age, they can become quite aggressive and attack their owners, often inflicting severe wounds. If you have children, an Amazon is not a good choice. Be mindful that any parrot you get will almost definitely outlive you. Also, please consider adopting from a rescue. There are many wonderful parrots out there in need of homes and it is a growing problem, as people don't realize what they're getting into. Having a parrot is like having a 2-year-old child forever, with all of the problems that come with it.
Question about Amazon
Do they have a search engine like Google? If so, is it better?
Look on Amazon or eBay.

They're available at Amazon.com.

Suggest to go to Amazon.com and buy SM
"When The Name Of The Game Is Saving Keystrokes" by Diana Rolland. You have to have a system. The book teaches you that.

Don't start just making them up randomly or you will go crazy. One thing I use is dividing word in half like nesc for nephrosclerosis, but, as stated, buy book.
Check amazon.com or e-bay.

Amazon has cheapest shipping (sm)
I tried transcriptiongear -- for what they wanted in shipping, I was able to buy an extra set of Sony headphones from Amazon plus pay for 2-day UPS shipping. Or try your local Radio Shack -- you can search their site online and see if something is in stock locally.
The Amazon one appears to be a current

edition and the CD that comes with it is an outdated spellchecker and not the dictionary on CD-ROM.  The Stedman's one is just the CD and they are always more than the book.  The have more detailed info on the CD.  I have an older version of the book and I think I've used it 2 times in 10 years.   When I update my Stedman's now I buy the CD and I might use it more if I had it on CD versus the book, though with their CDs now you can only install it twice.  They also have the book, but it is about $50.  


Check the classified board here and check half.com.  You can most likely find it cheaper at either place. 


Got mine on Amazon too. I've really liked it... will have to look around too then. nm

wow. I just got a Stedmans book for 1.79 on Amazon.
Brand new!  I never thought to look on there for a book!
I bought mine at Amazon.com - nm

Thank you, Medware and MT Stars for the $50 Amazon gift.
I received my gift certificate yesterday. Oh boy - let the shopping begin!  Thanks again!!
I got mine on Amazon.com and had it working in about 10 minutes. nm

edited to add I have checked ebay and amazon

I purchased Office 2003 at Amazon.com.

The owner can sell on Ebay or Amazon, thus

can take the responsibility and offer a limited warranty that it performs properly.  Or can recondition the equipment.  Myself, I would not buy and Lanier is expensive.  A lot of job worksites want MTs to provide/purchase this expensive stuff, no way. 


Who knows if you will continue with the service and if not, you have equipment that only works with services that have that equipment.  Nope, not me, would not buy, would not sell the owners equipment.  It will come back to "you" and owner may not accept and remedy
