Walter, thank for your quick and analytical answers to my questions, and also thanks to Sandeep and Bert for well thought out/analytical responses. I agree with Walter, we are lucky to have Sandeep and Bert as well as others.
Chewing over all the data thrown out in a short time will take time to digest, but I think to distill it all down, is what can one get for the most bang for his buck to best fit his needs.
I have learned in my 18 years of practice that one can be so tight that it can damage patient care or flow--I started handwriting notes thinking I could save the 1500 dollars a month on transcription fee, and when I started using Dragon back in 2003, I realized what a poor decision that was.
Now in 2011-2012, mainly out of fear of the unknown (computer stuff), and thinking software would cost 50 grand, I finally relented and started AC, and now realize that I should have done this transition years ago, but hindsight is 20/20.
So I do thank you all for your input and advice, as I have learned that if your willing to listen to those around, often times you can avoid mistakes that have already been made and corrected.
