phpBB

I was thinking, why doesn’t this forum abandon this MSN group and get a proper forum from phpBB? We could either try to sneak onto another Gregg site, or even try for a dot com address. And we’d now be able to edit! I think this would be a good idea, but I’m not sure…

I have a question.

Howdy Shorthand fans! I am new to this, just getting aquainted. I bought an antique shorthand book, and found it rather intruiging. I also realized that it seems to be a special book, and wondered if you might suggest to me how I might determine its possible history and worth? I have a feeling it…

Universal Class Legit?

Has anyone taken the Gregg class offered by Universal Class? http://home.universalclass.com/i/crn/5817.htm Somehow, it smells fishy to me; maybe since I’ve never heard of anyone using it. _______________________ Go, Speedwriter, go! (by johnsapp for everyone)
