You need to get the CD in order to get updates. Ellen Drake said on www.mtchat.com that the CD is much better than last year's.

Why buy a book? Online 'Drugs.com' and 'RxList.com'.....nm

you must own a pathology book. Go to stedman's and order online.

get South Beach Diet book or see online..sm

the author is Dr. Arthur Agatston, cardiologist here in s. florida


so is a good grammar book found at any bookstore or online--sm
for HALF the price and their guidelines do not change every six months in them. You know, you people hate AAMT because of them selling the american MT out and condoning outsourcing to China, but then you turn around and buy into their money grabbing scam of their BOS book, which changes its mind every six months just to make you buy another book. How blind!!
It's really not a great idea to disable Windows updates. Just because updates are scheduled to be
installed, does not mean 7.0 will be automatically installed on your pc.  You will always receive a notification when installing anything other than critical updates, which 7.0 is not.
Bare Minerals IS available at ULTA online,Sephora online...(sm)

...and you don't have to sign up for a makeup "club," or anything. I totally agree with you that this makeup is great for all the basic purposes (coverage, lasting), but their slogan is "Makeup so healthy you can sleep in it." There is a delay in time between when you can apply your powder after moisturizer, but it is really worth it.


To go with your powder I recommend the "pump brush" offered at some of the cosmetic online stores. You fill the handle with your powder mixture (I mix two different powders, changing it up or down according to how much sun I've been getting) and the pump brush will distribute some to the bristles, tap and have at it! This is great for carrying it with you to minimize the loss into the lining of your handbag!


I cannot recommend Bare Minerals enough. I used to be a MAC convert, and have tried everything from Chanel to Maybelline--this product does not disappoint.


Updating surgical references - new Stedmans Word Book, Tessier Surgery Book or others - best one in

Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error
or 2. Nobody is perfect. Lucky you only paid $60. New it is $80 or more.
I would buy book by Dog Whisperer. His TV shows covers things like this and would think his book mi

click "Microsoft Update"

click "Express"

you have to do this in Internet Explorer.
updates
the whole software was installed via net, and they say there has been no problem ever with that with other users, and it seems this is the latest software they are having.
They don't do yearly updates and never have. If you must
get hysterical about something at least get the real information about what you are carrying on about. Statements like this just make folks dismiss what you are saying because you don't know what you are talking about.
Anyone more updates on MQ bankruptcy?
  When I read that note on this board a week or two ago, it got me really worried.  I'm working really hard right now training on a new MQ account, and the thought of losing my job in the near future makes me want to cry.  Any feedback out there?  Does anyone know what's going on? 
Go to CNN.com for all of your news updates.
I also get my local newspaper online free.  Why pay and kill trees when the highlights are all on the internet?

You may have to update your calendaring programs and some cell phones as well.

Did security updates; seems all better now. -- nm

I have an HP and intermittently get updates for it...sm
Might try that before you uninstall and reinstall. Good luck!
Waiting for what? They don't do yearly updates.
What else is there to say? But if you want to keep on whining about something that is untrue be my guest.
Stedman's with the yearly updates. nm

MS Word has updates, just as Windows does. Have you
.
It will still work, but will not allow you to receive updates.

Quick Look Drug Book (book & CD/ROM)..sm..

Does anyone use both.  I'm definitely getting the CD/ROM and am debating about buying both.  I don't see any reason to have both but there could be something I don't know. 


I noticed CD/ROMs are on backorder but they're selling downloadable versions.  I can handle that.


I use Avast...it updates almost every day and runs in the background....
all the time. If I get an email attachment within attachment from forwards, it checks all of them before I even open it. It's a free program, too.
Thanks! Do you have a spellcheck that includes drug updates?

The Stedman's and then you buy the yearly updates afterward. nm
s
Thanks for the updates, glad to hear things
are going well for you. Go to church together, even if you split. Life can get better. God bless!
Has anyone updated yet to the new version of XP to 7.0 on updates and how does it work.
:
I have used Spellex for years never had a problem with the updates
I'm sorry to hear that. To each his/her own. I have used Spellex for years never had a problem with the updates. I would encourage anyone to try out software before you buy it.
Need to load some microsoft updates, need assistance here
I was told to go to microscoft and upload the latest - got the information to go to windows and click the express button and download and install. Where in the heck is the express button? Don’t see that anywhere. Thanks.
If you have not switched over to the new website for MQ updates call 800 dictate and get that done
and you will find that news on there.
Where I am, using Winscribe, the supervisor on duty routine gives updates (sm)
with who is working on a particular account, how many jobs there are, if any have been kicked back (she/he can tell as they are out of sequence, obviously taken into someones local queue and then returned to the pool. The name of those working at any given time is announced, this lets us know if someone comes on board during unscheduled hours without clocking in.

It is great for me as I follow the rules. We are not to take jobs into the local queue (cherrypicking) and we are not to work outside of scheduled hours unless it is granted and there is ample work for the person coming on board so they do not take away from the regularly scheduled MTs. I love my job!
I have it - it works great and updates daily, unlike
Norton and/or McAfee, BOTH of which allowed viruses to infect my computer. I won't spend any more of my hard-earned dollars on either. If you register with Avast, you can have their service free for 13 months. It runs in the background and checks literally everything, including net, email and any attachments that come with emails.
Mine sends daily volume updates

How many of you that use computers know how to do updates, repairs, clean up viruses, etc?
Just because I work every day using a computer, my husband has said tonight he thinks I should go to a computer class because I spent out $150 today for a person to come and get rid of several viruses on my computer. I asked my husband if he were so interested in this, why didnt he go to computer class and learn himself. I said I was coming on MTstars and just see how many of us transcriptionists also do our own repairs. Ok, MTers, now is your time to speak up!
Updates keep the money rolling in for useless info that becomes obsolete.
This is the stupidest con I have ever heard of on MT world.
At TransHealth, there are backlog updates every 15 minutes for the accounts we type. sm
We're always informed of where are accounts are standing (in ChartMatrix).  It's a nice feature.
What to do if Word does not recognize your added medical terms - after updates? nm

Does Stedman offer updates for Quicklook? I just bought the 2008

The Latest Word was a waste. Stedman's might have monthly updates on their site, not sure. nm

The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm

Medical Word Book by Sloan, Surgical Word Book by sm
Tessier, Dorland's dictionary, BOS, and my very fave I think is now out of print but called Spellright by Rice.
I have to contain myself for now, but I have a H*LL of an online SM

dating story - the stuff they make movies out of. I'm not kidding, either. I will be able to tell it soon, hopefully.


For what it's worth, I have found the most astounding dating site. Totally FREE. The best part of it is that there are forums there. http://www.plentyoffish.com


I buy online at...

Old Navy is one of my favorites.  Their stores are so small that they never have my size in stock anyway.  If you order from their website, the shipping is only $5 no matter how much you buy.  I also buy and sell a lot on ebay and half.com.  At Christmas time, I buy from Toys R Us online.  They usually have free shipping if your bill is over $50, and you can get the sale price.  I missed it yesterday.  I didn't realize that I could have purchased the 4-hour deals from Toys R Us on their website.  Oh well, maybe next year.


and I never used AOL online..sm

but  was a big investor back just before 2001 and I sold lots of shares when AOL was at 30....it subsequently went down to 9 or 11 and then was not on the market for a long time....


 


happy holidays y'all if y'all celebrate .


here ya go for online one

Look online

You can get some general info online.  But before signing up make sure you find out what the charges are for maintaining your account yearly, monthly or however.  That can make a big difference as to where you put your money.  


 


What's the best way to take an online

I have 4 pretty long transcription tests to take from an online site and am tearing my hair out!!!  I can't figure out Express Scribe (and I'm told it probably won't work), but using manual controls on these voice files s going to take me all night.  Is there a trick to it?


online BOS
I just love this online BOS.  Did you know all you have to do is bring it up, ctrl 4, put in a word, and it will search the whole BOS for you - Bingo!  there it is!  Love it.....I've been using it more than I ever did with the paperback.
Where is the online BOS?
nm
I use online
resources the most.

I think I might have developed this habit because I need to have glasses with bifocals now and can't afford them. Thus, using the web is easier for me.

I have pretty good luck with it too.
Anyone using online BOS?

I'm wondering if anyone is using the online BOS 3rd edition and if you like it? 


All comments appreciated.  - P.S. The company I work for uses these rules so the info is pertinent ... and I have no former editions.


Thanks.
