Years ago, I was finally so sick of fighting useless word processors 
that I wrote my own, with a spell checker. The years I used it was the 
only time I spent more time writing than trying to find the cursor and 
getting it to go where I wanted it (as I do now). The suggested word 
list on the spell checker was way more accurate and usable than anything 
I've seen before or since. It was DOS based, written in Turbo Pascal, 
and quit working with machine and OS upgrades. I miss it, but it would 
take way more time and brain cells than I'm willing to spend to rewrite 
from the ground up for my current system. Word sucks, Thunderbird's 
editor sucks, And the spell checkers for both are pitiful. The future is 
bright.

And yes, it's a full moon...
