The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources.

John Sapp, where are you these days? (by Marc for everyone)
Just out of curiosity, is anyone familiar with Century 21 shorthand? The other day, I saw a copy of the instruction manual for this system and was very surprised to see that it appears to be, more or less, an only slightly modified version of GS (in one of its post-Anni versions). Yet, the manual…
This isn’t really shorthand related, but do people have a preferred way to take notes for board meetings. I’ve been using a steno pad and just going straight down one column and then the other. Are there better ways to indication agenda items, speaker names, etc.? Or is it normal to just have a stream…
In addition to learning shorthand I am also a radio/morse code hobbyist.
