"Ah, forgot; A Mac user is like a computer OS bible beater."

You're wrong again Pete. No one beating an OS bible. You asked a question and I answered it. If you don't like the answer, that's your problem.

The solution is available. If you choose not to utilize it, further complaints are just whining.

Thanks for the tasty response; some things never change. Not sure why I thought you were “Mac OS bible beating”. It’s hard to believe I could be so wrong. Anyway, never said I didn’t like the answer nor was I making a complaint (spell checker comment was based on observations). I don’t need to buy a Mac to get spell checking when I post here or with my e-mail program or word-processor. Generally all my responses of any length are run through a spell checker on my machine before they’re put up for posting.

Steve, have you upgraded to OSX yet?

When one throws around stereotypes, one may get a tasty response. Rather ironic coming from an ARRL bible beater like yourself. 

All chain yanking aside, there are programs out there that will allow you to 'add' spell checking to most/many Windows applications. AutoSpell Suite is one of them. I'm pretty sure there are others. While dumping the text to a text-ed/word processor and spell checking works, having it built-in to every program is pretty convenient. I've noticed the text windows in many on-line forums and response areas are very small. I like to compose in a text editor in those cases. When the line length is less the 60-80, I find reading text more laborious.

Yes, I am a Mac user, and a Windows user, Unix user, Yaesu user, Collins user (guess that makes me a collector snob), and and Motrin user. I've also used computers made by Tektronix, Hewlett-Packard, Sun, Apollo, Commodore, Sperry, IBM and Cray, to name a few.

Don, I'm using Mac OS X. It has the system-wide spell checking. The prior Mac OS did not. The system to which I was referring as having such capability for about a decade was Nextstep. The point is that there are lots of choices out there in the computer world. Don't box yourself in. Same goes for people too (except for slopbuckets).

I've used  and worked on all those with the exception of the Cray. But you forgot to mention the DEC and CDC's (loved those micro and mini VAXes). All the Sperry's I worked on still carried the 'UNIVAC' moniker.

Glenn - Love that "Trash 80"! I had one with 16K of external memory and a thermal printer. Thought it was hotstuff" at the time. When I upgraded to a 8088 IBM system I couldn't give the Trash 80 away. Wound up scrapping it for parts.
