Pitman Shorthand in the new millenium - 2008/01/26 23:54
My background; 28 years as a network engineer. I have used some of the most advanced computer technologies available to the general public and then some. 
As a hobbyist, I currently use 64 bit Linux OS. I currently work as a sales professional.
When I walk into meetings, my goal is to eventually I carry only three items, a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil filled with HB leads, a Staedtler Mars plastic retractable eraser pen and a standard 120 page steno notepad. And yes, I am being completely serious.
In my experience, no other technology can even come close in comparison with Pitman shorthand for accuracy, speed and clarity. Again from my own experience, transcribing notes into the computer after meetings gives me a much needed opportunity to re-enforce the concepts and ideas from the meetings.
In my opinion, any young person NOT learning Pitman shorthand for college or university note-taking today is cheating themselves. Note-taking accurately with speed is a requisite skill in any profession.
The very very kind ladies and gentlemen who keep Pitman shorthand alive and thriving are passing on a tremendous skill that will help all in their note taking.
Thank you for your very kind work. Please NEVER give up.
That being said, I can not seem to locate the copy I once had of the Pitman Shorthand Dictionary (Hardcover red in color), I used to have. Can anyone point me in a direction where I can buy one ?
