415387 2005-12-24 00:33:00 I know I grumbled about this before, but there isn't a spell-checker on this site..so I found a way to get one anyway...

I just open the F-1 site thru Firefox, type out my latest diatribe and then "CTRL-T for a new tab, and then c/p it in GMail and click on the spellchecker there...re-c/p it back into F-1 and there are few embarrassing mis-spelled words that way.

....not that I mis-spell at all...it's my dumb fingers that do all the typos. :blush:

415393 2005-12-24 03:05:00 hi Joe,

Did you know that you can download a spellcheck extension for Firefox? It works in any web form, just type what you want, put the cursor back at the start then right click for menu and hit spell check button.

That's why my rants may not make sense, but the spelling is good :D

You can get it here:

spellbound.sourceforge.net

Yeah, but..I am using Mozilla 1.5 and Spellbound won't run on it yet.

Ah, well then- you need a wife... one of those household gadgets that stands over your shoulder and says "That's not right!" :xmouth:

Of course you could also change over to Firefox and problem solved?
