Hiding behind the computer - Tammie
Posted: May 04, 2011
I'm willing to bet that if we had to post accurate information regarding ourselves with no aliases, no fake emails, etc that most of these posts wouldn't make it through. It's really easy to criticize and judge others, be mean spirited when someone asks questions or just be a ***** behind the computer.
I really think that we should have to 'join' before we post and even post a picture to go along with our legitimate profiles! Lets see how many know-it-alls and hateful people post then!
Now that I'm off of my rant regarding the rude people . . . I'm off to do my work!
Whos to say those would be legitimate - profiles and pictures?
[ In Reply To ..]It is just as easy to make up a fake profile/picture as it is to be an anonymous poster.
Anonymity keeps the conversation lively. And - dont forget, our bosses read these - sm
[ In Reply To ..]boards, too. We need a place to vent. Better to spout off online, than to actually do something physically.
As for joining, the reason lots of us are MTs is that we're not the "joiner" type. Another MT forum started doing that, and now it's not even worth joining.
I like the internet, and the forums on it, to be free, and as uncensored as possible. It's our last true frontier.

Oh sure, I'll post a picture here.. - Bettie_Bgood
[ In Reply To ..]When all those in management who visit these boards do the same.
Now, that would be an educational experience for all of us, I think! :)
regarding rude people, honey you just became their leader. - lol

What is a fake email? - I Am Me
[ In Reply To ..]If I create an email, for whatever reason - online shopping, viewing youtubes, or even posting (anon or not) on a forum - it is a real email regardless of if I use the name that is on my birth certificate or the state that issued me a driver's license. All my email accounts are as real as I am.
So what, exactly, is a "fake" email?
I don't think you can use bogus emails here, you have to - reply to a confirmation email - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Our emails are all valid because we have to reply to confirmation emails when we sign up, if I recall correctly. Not sure what you mean by "fake emails".
I have several emails, jobs, family, personal business. - think about it a while.
[ In Reply To ..]Not fake emails, but some with my name, some a code name for when I do not want my name and gender out there.

Oh-now I Get It! MM IS MQ-just Hiding.
Mar 25, 2013
I am fairly new to MM and I had always been under the impression MM bought out MedQuist. But upon doing some research tonight I read how MQ bought MM for a whole lot of money and stock and that Vern came with MQ and then just hid themselves and their poor reputation behind the MM name. Now I am not feeling so comfortable. I came to MM because I had thought it gobbled MQ, as MQ was a company I had always refused to work for due to their shady practices. But MM is MQ....just a wolf in sh ...
Is Hiding What The Basic Pay Is Even Legal? The Min

as they would like us all to think. How is this plan industry leading as they'd like us to believe? There is no way to even know week to week how much you will be paid. It certainly is not a way to feed your family and take care of business. Do they forget that many of us are single parents with babies to take care of? How is this industry leading? ...

Change From Company-provided Computer To Own Computer
Aug 04, 2011
I am in the process of transitioning jobs and will be going from a company-provided computer to my own. Any suggestions on what software programs are needed, virus protection, word expanders, line counting, and hardware like foot pedal? The hospital I am looking into will be using Microsoft Word. Any comments on whether this is a good program or not to transcribe on? Any tips? I have been with the same company for 15 years, so have been out of the loop and need ...

Mq Computer

Does anyone know what the problem might be? Tech support has already increased the virtual memory capa ...

Computer Age VS 6.1
Sep 10, 2010
I was just wondering how old some computers are that are having problems with 6.1 and if there are people with newer computers that handles it better. Mine is a MQ computer that is 4 years old now and it bogs down quite a bit. Everything is sluggish now. I do have 1 GB of ram and 1.84 GHz, so 6.1 shouldn't take a toll on it as bad as it is. I'm just wondering if I should ask the Q for an upgrade, if that is the problem. Knowing the RAM and proces ...
Help MQ Computer
Sep 16, 2010
Need help! I don't use an MQ computer, since they don't want you to put anything personal on it, and most of my life, including banking, is on my computer. My 4-year-old computer crashed and is in the shop for a couple days, and I decided maybe it's time to get a new one. The problem is, DQS requires a 32-bit system, and so far all the new computers I've found are all Windows 7, which is 64 bits. I also want to get a slimline, since it kills my ...

I turned off the "check as you go" spelling feature to get rid of that distracting wiggly red line. When I upload a document, and a mis-spelling is picked up, what's with all the lame suggestions. I mean either there just aren't any suggestions at all for a simple mis-spelled word with a single wrong letter, or just a simple word. What happened to the old Q dictionary? It seems every 5 years their dictionary gets worse. When I started 10 years ag ...

Does anyone use a Mac for medical transcription with Windows XP and MT software that requires nothing newer than XP? Also any experience with Windows XP and Medrite XL on a newer computer using Windows 7 and virtual xp? Needing advice before replacing my old computer, which I'm afraid might give out. I would just load XP but supposedly will be transferring to software compatible with Windows 7 sometime in the future. Any ideas appreciated. ...

Old Computer
Jan 21, 2013
MM sent me a letter, tried to say they never received my old computer back which was replaced back in JUNE!! They didn't realize that I'm not a moron and I kept the receipt, because I know what kind of people I'm working for. So if anyone receives new equipment, make sure you keep the receipt when you send the old stuff back, because months later, they will get around to accusing you of stealing their worthless piece of crap equipment that is infected with viruses and ...

I am looking to buy a new computer but kind of "stumped" at where to start. I know that I will have to buy Dell since they are about the only company that offers XP any longer. Currently I am running a Pentium 4 CPU, 1.60 GHz with 1.00 GB RAM. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to buy?

New Computer Question .... SM

My wonderful daughter surprised me last night and gave me her semi-new (just bought within the last 6 months) laptop, she bought herself a new I-Mac. The problem with the laptop is that it has Vista on it. If I carry this to someone who "knows" computers, have Vista removed and XP placed on it, will it be okay? This is the first laptop that I have ever owned and I am so excited about the flexibility of working with one!! Thanks in advance for any o ...
