Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Updating

Perhaps I am on the wrong board, but I need to update my equipment (have Windows 98 with Office 97) and need to start working from home. I need to order a new tower, of course, and new software. I don't have the money to spend, so I would like to know what I should ask for to work in order to qualify for home, i.e., the minimum amount of memory; what I need to attach a foot pedal, etc., etc. Some of the e-mail "bargains" I am getting offers for this time of year will have in the small print "no USB or parallel ports." I am totally confused and would appreciate any help I can get. I am getting off a DOS-based WP 5.1 program after many, many years. There is a computer store nearby and he builds computers to your needs, but he is very, very business-like and a "no-nonsense" person (Japanese, hard-working). You have to tell him exactly what you want. He has absolutely no clue about medical transcription needs. Have plenty of acute care experience but need your help so I won't "waste" my money on useless "bargains" and need to start testing on line for the new year. Right now, I have AOL dial-up as well. So you see, I do need your expertise and in the Christmas spirit, if you would e-mail me, I sure would appreciate it. I need to get back to doing what I love to do after a year's relocation. Thanks and God bless.

I am updating my resume as we speak.
Decided not to wait any longer. I can't afford to sit here either. Today is horribly slow. Thanks to those who responded.

Updating word expander
I have lost my instructions for updating word expander. Does anyone have these instructions or can tell me where I can find it or the file in my computer? Any help would be appreciated.

Unless we are transcribing, we are losing money. This is why a relative decent line rate is not asking for a lot, I believe.

I do think we should all have a savings account though. I have 17 hours of PTO that I am going to cash in.

DOH!
