Portable computer cart ideas? - Rose


Posted: Feb 27, 2010

As my family leaves the next, I would like to be able to come out of my work "closet" and be able to set up in my family room by a big window.  However, when we have guests, I would like the option of moving the cart back into the closet.   Has anyone found anything that works for this?  The cart has to be sturdy enough to hold all the computer hardware including a printer.   So many that I see have a support or floor under them which would prohibit the use of a foot pedal.

That would be "nest..." LOL - Rose

This one might be too small, but looks like it would have room for a pedal

I found that so many of them have a keyboard tray that isn't wide enough to hold the keyboard and mouse - not very good ergonomically. I will have to keep looking. Thanks.

This one has room for a foot pedal underneath - Janie

This one is kind of ugly, but may fit the bill for you.

Computer Cart/armoire Suggestions
Feb 07, 2010

I am needing to set up another work station and I am thinking about a computer cart that moves from room to room or an armoire that I can put all my computers in (work, personal, scanners, printers, etc. ) and close the doors.  The one thing I keep running into is finding a cart or armoire that allows for the foot pedal under the desk.  I have been researching on the internet and found a few, but a personal recommendation is always worth alot.  Does anybody have a suggestion that ...

Advice Wanted Regarding Portable Phone System
Feb 11, 2011

I bought a new portable phone with built-in answering machine and 2 handsets that has the DECT technology which is supposed to help with interference from wireless internet, etc. This phone is the WORST. I can barely hear sometimes. It sounds like a cell phone going in and out of range, but it doesn't do it all the time. Sometimes it's as clear as a belll. Has anyone had a problem like this? I need to return this phone while I still can, but I need some advice in getting a system that ...


C Phone With Portable Unlimited Long Distance
Jun 23, 2013

I currently work for a hospital on the West Coast and I'm in Georgia.  I use a C phone to connect and have Vonage for ULD at home.  My question is I'm trying to get ULD portable.  I want to be able to go off for the weekend without having to ask off work.  I want to be able to take my ULD with me anywhere I go but obviously has to have phone jacks to plug up the C phone.  Verizon has something that would work I think but the complaints are voice quality and I c ...

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 ...


Any Ideas??

Help!

Well this whole transcription thing is not going well. Duh! With a really bad work schedule, an hour commute each way and now the threat of the hospital outsourcing our department, I am trying to think of something I can do from home besides work for peanuts for a MTSO. I am expecting my first child soon and really want to be home with him.  Does anyone have a friend or family member who has successfully implemented her own business (perhaps with a transcription background) and if so, ...


Any Ideas?
Dec 11, 2013

Tried testing for Accentus, but my foot pedal would not play the voice file.  It did absolutely nada.  I could not go backward or fast forward.  I was able to hear the test voice file just fine, so I went ahead and hit the tab to take the test.  I transcribed 4 words, went to back up, and I couldn't.  Any suggestions as to why my stinking foot pedal would not work?  It works fine when I am transcribing for my present service.    ...

Deskjob Munchy Ideas

Hey fellow MTs, I don't know about any of you, but I constantly desire munchies or something of the like at my desk while I'm working.  As my waistline has been increasing steadily over the past few years, I was wondering if any of you have any healthy or even somewhat healthy munchy ideas.  So far I've gone from M&Ms and Hershey Kisses to peanuts and raisins, but...yeah...I wouldn't mind some other ideas.  Thanks all! ...


Ideas For New Comp Plan

How about a shift differential for the weekend? What about extra money per report for those accounts with multiple carbon copies and tedious demographic screens? Some companies consider FT and offer benefits at 32 hours, would that be something anyone would be ...

Careers MTs Switch To--Ideas?

What type of careers are any one of you who are leaving MT or who are former MTs are retraining for? I'm very undecided. I'm not too crazy about being in school a long time or least longer than 1-1/2 to 2 years. I thought about coding but heard that that field is changing too like MT. I would like to stay in the medical field but I'm not sure about the degree of direct patient contact I want. I thought about radiology technician but not really sure. Any ideas to at least all ...

Any Ideas How To Get Past Burn Out? Right Now, It's

not really feasible to look for another job outside home. I live in a very small town and care for my aging mother who is not in the best of health. Right now I'm really feeling a major period of burn-out with transcription. Most days, I'm ready to throw my hands up and quit, just walk away from it, but then I see my checkbook laying on my desk as a reminder that I can't do that. I'm tired of trying to understand mushmouth practitioners, those who talk at the speed of light, ...
