You're really swift, aren't you?

You're pretty full of yourself aren't you?
your problems, your point of view, your way, your outlook, your, your, your.

frankly unless you know exactly what everyone is up against personally, financially, physically, emotionally, your "advice" is exactly worth what we paid for it. ZERO. Now don't waste your typing skills trying to talk down to us again. No one is buying into it.
Well those things aren't "fudging" -- they're being more SM
efficient. I started out that way too. I never had a spell checker until 1990. I don't call it fudging at all.
If you're so brilliant then, why aren't you in a better line of work?
1. Surgeon.

2. Attorney.

3. College professor.

oh, and yes, my brilliant one - what year exactly did you graduate with your Ph.D. from Harvard?

Make sure there aren't other taxes that you're overlooking.

Some communities/counties have occupational privilege tax, 911 tax. Some sales require you to collect a sales tax on your service. The best advice is to check with a tax preparer AND visit your state's revenue website to make sure you're not missing anything.


and now it's OUR fault that the docs aren't more careful when they're dictating?
Hey, they're making 100 times what we do, so it's their responsibility to be aware of what they're saying, not ours.
You're very lucky and obviously aren't looking up addresses or having to relisten to slop over

You're really proud of the 'former bank manager' thing aren't you
Why do you use that name? Just curious.

Just turned on puter

and find all kinds of slander about the x-3.  So if you are confident that I have been "bad mouthing" the company give me your facts.  If I recall correctly I went off on you and apologized for it.  You are the one in the end that said you needed time to lick your wounds.  I have not bad mouthed the company to anyone!!!!  and to quote someone whom I thought was an excellent friend "venting to friends is okay, that is what friends are for."


I am actively seeking employment, will continue to do so, and keep my opinions of the company to myself.  If you feel I have done otherwise share the facts you have, give me a chance to defend myself.......


It tears me apart on a daily basis that we have no friendship........if you truly feel you cannot forgive me that is fine, but please don't bash me on a public board about things that are not true. 


Thanks, is on my daughter's puter and will try...nm

He's using the puter to relax & de-stress, same as you. - nm

Do you shut your puter down overnight?
Just curious how many shut completely down at the end of your work day or overnight? Why or why not?
trouble since hooking up 2nd puter

I set up a second computer in my home.  I had a router hooked up for this purpose by my telephone technician.  It is a brand new router, Lynxys brand.  Since then I have had problems with staying connected to the Internet. 


 


I shut off the firewall on my pc and that seems to have taken care of the problem on that computer.  The second computer is from a MT co. that I am starting to work for.  I cannot stay connected to the Internet on their computer.  The phone tech was out and checked everything and the router and phone connection is fine.


 


I am at a loss since I am not an IT person but an MT.  It is so frustrating.


 


Any ideas? 



TIA


New puter with Vista - need Word!
Has anyone needed to buy Word 2003 on their new Vista computer to handle their client's documents?  Is it compatible?  I need to make a decision if I'm to use their "Works" program installed (will have to pay $300 at the end of the trial period) or just go ahead and buy Word 2003 and Excel on my own.  Thanks for any 2c.  I need to decide Today, so I can start transcribing again next week!!   Happy Easter..
You should be able to find the folder on your puter sm
and open it in word or notepad and see everything there.  Check out the Instant Text site for their forums, I am sure there is a blow-by-blow there for you to follow.  I have never done it, so I am not 100% sure.
I would worry about them on any puter owned by a company

I have to buy a new puter and was told by employer NOT to get Vista.

Desktop or Laptop? Gotta buy a new puter...sm

Not sure whether I would like to buy another desktop or a laptop.  My hubby has a laptop and the only way I can transcribe on his is if I use an adaptor to connect my ergonomic keyboard.  I am wondering if the screen from the laptop would cramp my style.  I am leaning more towards another desktop because I can use my hubby's when traveling, but then still question what brand.  Anyone willing to give some suggestions as far as brand, specs, capabilities.  I would rather hear from fellow MTs versus sales people in the store selling me things I really do not need.  Thanks!!


Can you put the old drive in new puter and copy AutoCorrect from old

That puter with a D is OK if you don't have to call (India) service n/m
 
New Ativa keyboard not being read by puter...anyone know why?

Can you load the Stedman's speller onto the puter there? Can't imagine not having it! nm

You'll have to ask your tech person if it's possible. Or set up another puter with a KVM switc

No, how do you go to it?
Chat
Kept checking the chat room from about 7:00 till 8:00. Some one finally showed up, just the two of us. We had a nice chat. Hope some one else picks a time and more can make it. Hope to see more of you there next time.

May be that was it. Of course, your're never gonna get every one to agree on a time. By all means, lets try again.

I have had a heck of a time trying to sign in. It keeps telling me I cannot post a link and I am not trying to post a link. Can anyone help me? I would love to join some other MTs in a Chat room.
Chat

I've read some of the responses to the chat room. I suggested 7:00 EST, some one else suggested 8:00 for those on the west coast. Tonight was mentioned as a good time for at least one.


My suggestion would be to pick a time, say 8:00 on the west coast, every night. Those that can make it will be there and those that cannot make it on any given night would be assured some one would be there the next night they tried. Once enough discovered the place and how much fun it can be, possibly there would be enough interest to have 1 or 2 almost every night.


For those who arn't sure what I'm talking about - at the top of the page, right side is a link "chat room." Click on that and you should be good to go.


This is just a suggestion. If not interested, ignore. Otherwise, hope to see some folks this evening 8:00 west coast time. (Unless some one has a better time that would work for most).

Oops.

Anyone interested in meeting in the chat room 7:30ish tonight?

i didn’t even realize there was a chat room until this post!!! i am so out of the loop...
new to MT and new to chat
I've never chatted before... seems a little weird.  I have a 3yo son whom I have never had to put in day care.  Trying to not to; but my husband's pressuring me to get a job.  I don't mind; but I'd rather try to keep my son with me... so I'm interested in finding out how to do this... I used to do transcription at a hosp about 5 yrs ago... I still type 82 wpm.  do I still need to get a foot pedal or is that ancient hx?  Is there any recommended/required softward needed to purchase to begin?  How do I do invoicing and line counts?  It seems a bit overwhelming... do I need to take a course?  Is it something I can do at night and at nap times when my son is asleep?  How demanding are the docs?  How approachable?  I'm scared but excited to try it once I'm armed with a little more info...thanks!

Thank you!

The Chat section is closed/discontinued on MTStars.com due to constant abuse of the System (Deliberate Trolling, Abusive Language, Profanity etc.).

Administration has no plans to restore this feature in near future.

chat room
On the main board, menu on the left says "chat". I have clicked on it several times and it always says no one in the room.
Chat rooms. sm
Does anyone ever go into the chat room(s). I have checked there at least a dozen times on different days at different times of the day and have never found anyone in there.
As it stands now, according to the chat
room, is that Kaysar and Jennifer are the only two left. Apparently James gave up and walked out. Go Kaysar!
In AOL chat room.

Anyone else having trouble getting into chat? (sm)
For some reason I can't get into chat anymore to see if anyone is there.  I've tried to resign up and it always tells me I have to use 6 letters in the password...when I've even used 9 and it still tells me I have to have more than 6 letters.  I'm about to give up.  I used to be able to get into it for for the last few weeks...not. 
Chat room
Just wondering why there is so few in chat room.  Whenever I go to chat, no one is there.
