Not that I want to advertise it or that I have any interest in selling the  
things, but on NeXT computers operating system there comes a Webster  
dictionary plus the complete works of William Shakespeare free of any  
charge (ok the whole thing is a bit pricey but you get a whole computer  
with it ;-) ). Spelling, thesaurus, citations and book quality formatted  
text. Want anything more?
