I use a MSFT Natural keyboard at home and the laptop keyboard on the road. nm

favorite keyboard over the holidays is called "no keyboard"

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?

Has anyone used the Smartboard keyboard? Everyone tell what keyboard they have and rate it nm

Kinesis Keyboard and keyboard tray

Okay, any lefties use this keyboard? How long did it take to get used to? I use my left thumb for the space bar and I notice on a diagram of the keys that I would always be hitting the backspace key.


I'm really interested in getting a better keyboard. I destroyed my left hand and wrist the other week when I fell because I'm becoming a real klutz.


I bought the Soft Flex gloves, but they only help a little bit. My production is down because of it and it's driving me crazy. I can only type an hour without stopping and then have to rest the hand for some time.


I did buy a Microsoft 2000 keyboard but have yet to recieve it. Is this a good one?


Do you use a keyboard tray with it or just set it on the desk? Do you think a kayboard tray would be the least expensive item right now that would help with a straight keyboard?


Any info you can provide to help me in making any decision would be greatfully appreciated.


'Scuse me for being old school, but I've only ever used a straight keyboard.


 


Does anyone know of a keyboard that has the backspace key in the center of the keyboard? NM

Split keyboard mounted on chair arms versus split keyboard on desk

For longtime comfort which is best - split keyboard mounted on chair arms or split keyboard to be used on the desk?


Also, why the preference over split keyboards that come totally apart versus split keyboards that are permanently connected at the top?


I want to revamp my office and there are so many different options.


Gold touch makes a keyboard without number pad. Also the evoluent keyboard has the number pad on th
It is a very small keyboard and has laptop keys which are very quiet and light to the touch.  Almost no noise.
you are awesome...
thank you, for answering, and in such a clear-cut way. you have certainly given me food for thought.

I have about 15 years to go, and am inclined like you for the old #2.

now, with your system, the Dragon, you bought it yourself? and you make tons more lines than without it? that is the system I was considering asking my employer if they might offer.

does your employer know you use it, do they approve?

that is what my boyfriend had suggested (excuse if it was not clear), the systems for personal use, like you have, and to use it with my job for a national. just like you do, he said why not dictate it rather than type it yourself.

you really find it makes you more money?

thanks, for letting me pick your brain as it were...

best to you.
Awesome!! You are welcome.
One of my favorites is the "Ties Suck" tie (written in binary). Wish I knew someone who hated ties!!

You made my day!! Finally, I did a good deed LOL
To each their own, and yes, he is AWESOME!nm

Thats awesome!

You are awesome! sm
Congratulations for changing your life for the better!

Remember what the word "decision" means: It literally means "to cut off from." That's not flimsy like a New Year's resolution that people break. You made a decision. The day may come that you get weak and tired and think maybe things weren't so bad or maybe he has changed. Be READY FOR IT and plan now that you'll stand by your *decision*.

Not anywhere near Illinois, unfortunately. Keep reaching out. Call the local YWCA. If it's like here, they'll offer free counseling and help to people, often the majority of which end up being abused women trying to leave their husbands.

You are a wise woman. I hope you realize that. No shame in asking for help. People want to help you! This will all be history someday. Don't you already feel stronger? I bet it feels pretty darn good. Stay with it!
WOW! Thank you! You are awesome!!!
You did not leave a place to email you at...I am going to bed as it is late where I am at, but if you include it later, I will for sure email you and maybe we can encourage one another..I am REALLY, REALLY wanting to get this weight off of my mid-section....THANKS AGAIN!!!  Have a GREAT night/morning! 
Awesome--thanks!!!!

Awesome!!
I love the Idol tours, they really put on a good show. They are not coming close by me for this one though, so I am bummed out!!
This is awesome, thank you!
THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to answer my post.  I got kind of depressed at first when everyone said the price was too low, but I've read over the suggestions and the encouragement and, well, I feel a lot better.  So, THANK YOU so much to everyone.  Some of you offered that I could e-mail you for more help, and I will do that!  All your posts have given me some good insight and some things to think about, so I really appreciate it.  You guys are the best! 
Awesome!!!! nm

That's awesome! sm

You always give great advice on this board! 


I've been doing this 20 years, and always wanted to have my own accounts/business, but I've been afraid of failure.  This week I started sending out letters to local physicians.  I'm feeling good about it.  I think I can do it now. 


I love the mentoring idea.  Someone mentored me 20 years ago when I had no experience whatsoever.  So, whenever I get some accounts, I think I'm going to do that as well.


Thanks for the inspiration!


Wow - that's awesome!
Congrats on landing the account too! 
Awesome..
Yes, we usually go to Disney World..but we just went to Florida (for a cruise in May) and it's stinking hot so we didnt want to go there until like next spring. California is pretty warm this time of year but it's not humid hot like FL..Vegas is our first love.. We just got back from there a few weeks ago. We go like every 3 months and I, of course, take my computer there too LOL.. gotta mix business with pleasure and I certainly couldnt afford my passion, TRAVEL, if I didnt work some while I was there. I am addicted to WORK and also TRAVEL.. People always say..you work too much..70-90 hours a week but the same people say I travel too much..go figure.. My motto.."I do work hard.. but I play HARDER
Awesome!!!
Doin the happy dance for you right now.  You should be pleased as punch.
That'd be awesome if
You could have it populate dates and such from Outlook.
Wow it is awesome to know that he actually knows there is someone on the other end...

Awesome!!
This is wonderful! I cannot thank you enough... I am going to contact Humana. All I need is to cover myself and my son for Rx and office. I will let you know how it goes, but I have a feeling you may have saved the day for me... Thank you SO much!
Awesome!
Thanks so very much for posting that. And for the melatonin, I was wondering if it was seratonin or melatonin, this helps. You are right. I wonder what's the difference if we get sleep during the days? I am going to read up on this definitely. If the insurance companies or anyone else takes advantage of this, the workforce will decline at night. What about the 24-hour staff decline many service organizations need? Like hospitals or transcriptionists, police officers, nurses, EMTs, etc. Even the 7-11! Some people can't afford a hike in insurance. I know I can't with a family to support. Well, maybe we'll get better differential now than we have already (doubt it). Oh well, can't worry about it because I am sure there is a study somewhere that says worrying leads to cancer too. Thanks again for the link.
AWESOME!
You are very clever. Thanks for bringing a smile to my tired face. and Merry Christmas to you, too
You are AWESOME!
Keep up the good work!
Awesome!!!
Now I can keep my danish warm without having to take time out to go downstairs to reheat it in the microwave. That will save me a bunch of time and translate into increased productivity! Isn't technology grand?

I kinda do that same thing -- only I'm secretly putting $$ into my business account for my "vacation fund."  He NEVER wants to go on vacation and always says we don't have $$.  Well, i HAVE to have my vacations.  So whenever I get enuf $$ put together, i present it to him and book that cruise!

I think Curves is awesome!

The support and the women-only atmosphere make it a great alternative to a regular gym.

Thanks, Radguy! That was awesome!

That's awesome, Fatty! Thanks!

It was great to see Myron Cope on the video.  I moved away from Pittsburgh 22 years ago, but have always been a Steelers fan - once a Steelers fan, always a Steelers fan!  I often think about Myron Cope, he was such a colorful announcer and personality.  I was glad to see he is still alive, God bless him!  He is the guy who invented the terrible towel, too. 


I am psyched for the Superbowl!  Go Steelers!!!


Awesome! Good for you - keep it up! nm
