Then those that I did not as I introduced myself I put them in or asked the host their name if I did not catch it all. I entered the rest of there info later when they were eatin and in between orders.
I sold two small scoops b/c of it too. Usually I do not "really" look at what they order. I glance and retotal for them but do not concentrate on it. Well, since I was seeing it pop up on the screen. The two that bought mini muffin pans, I sold the scoop to go with it to them.
It also reminded me to ask about the "Rounding Up." I always forget to mentin that at shows but when I was giving them their total last night and saw the icon it reminded me. Almost everyone rounded up.
I was glad I took my USB mouse b/c like Ann recommended a mouse is so much better when entering shows instead of the little finger pad.
A numeric pad like Linda talked about would be good too but I will hold off on that for a while to see if I get more use to using the numbers about the letters. I use those a lot at work so, it should not take a lot of adjustment for me.
I loved coming home and not having to enter orders! My feet were swollen and killing me when I got home, so, it was great just to kick back and not have to do that!
Thanks for your tips ladies!!!!
I've been thinking about doing this. It's a good Sunday afternoon activity.pamperedlinda said:If you don't have a 10-key numeric pad on your laptop you might want to buy an external one. I am lost w/o that!

Considering this too. I haven't had that since getting a laptop three years ago. At first I hated not having one, but now I'm as used to it as I'll ever get. I'll keep considering.pamperedlinda said:If you don't have a 10-key numeric pad on your laptop you might want to buy an external one. I am lost w/o that!

My DSILs helped me with choosing one. One SIL built my desktop & is my personal geek. He knows a happy MIL is a good MIL:love:
This will work out well for shows and for school. I actually haven't opened the box yet because I want to check out tomorrow's ads. I also got a wireless mouse & numeric keypad set to go with it.

I am trying to decide between keeping my current Windows computer (desktop) and buying a Windows laptop. That way we have a new upgraded computer and the old one the kids can use. But, I was in a Apple store recently looking at their computers and I was impressed. If I get an Apple, I would get rid of our Windows and just have the one. Maybe down the road, we could get a Mac laptop. Do you like the Mac better? Can you give me any advice?mamidu said:I am a new consultant that just started with PC. From what I have read on these boards is that there is a few Mac owners. Myself being on of them. I use Boot Camp and Fusion to run PP3 and so far I have had no issues. I can't wait to start actually using the software. I have a catty show going and my neighbor is going to host a show for me but she keeps pushing the date back!
Thank you, Do you have a Macbook Pro or just a regular one? Is there that much of a difference in the quality? I noticed there is a big difference in price.chefann said:Sheryl, I just set you a PM.
To set up your laptop for the first time, make sure it is plugged in and turned on. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to connect to a Wi-Fi network and set up your user account. You may also want to customize your desktop background and organize your files for easy access.
It is always a good idea to check for any software updates or installations before your show. This will ensure that your laptop is running smoothly and you have access to the latest features. You may also want to install any necessary apps or programs for your presentation.
To prevent your laptop from running out of battery during the show, make sure it is fully charged before the event. If possible, bring a charger and an extension cord with you to the show in case you need to plug in. You can also conserve battery life by closing unnecessary programs and dimming the screen brightness.
If your laptop freezes or crashes during the show, try restarting it by holding down the power button. If that doesn't work, you may need to force quit any unresponsive programs. It's always a good idea to have a backup plan in case of technical difficulties, such as having physical copies of your presentation or materials.
To ensure that your laptop runs smoothly during the show, close any unnecessary programs and tabs. This will free up memory and processing power for your presentation. You may also want to disable notifications and turn off your internet connection to avoid any distractions. Finally, make sure to test your presentation beforehand to ensure everything runs smoothly on your laptop.
