This online community
has been around for over ten years now and has survived two moves (starting out as simply the discussion forums at Info World Electric (online edition)).
We know each other's online personas so well that its hardly worth starting a new argument as we generally can predict where its going to end up ahead of time.
New blood is definitely welcome.

When the browser begins to offer spell checking
I'll use it. (I think it is coming in Tiger).

Its all very complicated
I have Mac at home (and take it with me to work since there's wireless on the ferry). My work "productivity" machine is a lame hp toy laptop running WindBlows XPee - required primarily to use MS ButtLick for calendaring and email.
Actual software development (which I don't really do much anymore except in an explorational and testing capacity as I am now a dev manager) occurs on the ancient machina con sombrero rojo.
Hope this clears it all up.

And for Mozilla/Firefox - Spellbound
[link|http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/index|http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/index] - Spellbound spell checker for Mozilla / Firefox. I haven't yet tried it myself, but should...
Cheers,

If you can read this
...then spellbound works. :)
Was "Iff yu cn rede ths".
Good find!
Recommend on Firefox install: install the dependencies (xpi's) first, then the actual extension.

Already does if you read these fora
Only with a time-delay, and provided by some guy on the other side of the world (or, as in this instance, Canada).

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot.
