Mr. Larkin,

I recommend the purchase of Thunder 7 (Baseline), a spell-checker that
installs in your Finder menu bar and is available in all or selected
applications. It's a fast and flexible checker: you can instruct it to
ignore all words beginning with capital letters, and also provide
exceptions to that rule. Additionally, it will omit space runs and tabs,
change cases, smarten quotes, and provide search and replace. I installed
it, threw away all other spell-checkers and dictionaries, and wound up
saving space and time. Best of all, I can spell-check my outgoing e-mail!
The lowest prices on Thunder 7 are usually at the big mail order places,
such as MacConnection or Mac Warehouse. I've seen it listed for under $40.
