In what may be the single greatest product success story of the decade, the Stentura 8000LX steno machine — a piece of equipment previously purchased almost exclusively by working court reporters — has been completely sold out on every major retail platform since early last month. Third-party sellers are listing used machines for four times their retail value, and at least three different men have posted unboxing videos of their brand new steno machines despite having absolutely no idea how to use them. One man simply captioned his: ‘Step one complete. She will notice me.’
