Cheryl,
I'm starting a private lab with the same doctors that work here. We have to
purchase another software system from what the hospital uses, the doctors
are thinking going to laptops for the new system, so they can carry the
computers around.  Not ideal and I don't know how this will work.  I'll keep
you updated.
