Hey that's no surprise - Bill Gates still tries to ignore Steve Jobs - would his software do any better?
That said, I like the buzz on Zune and expect it to steal some potential iPod users - sorry Off Topic.

phpSpell screen also blank when I clicked SpellCheck on this post. |

ccflyer-
The Spellcheck, or, more accurately, the Speelcheck (for rants, at least), doesn't work with the new GS-5 Mac computers.
I was told our pop-up blocker does it in, but even with the blocker turned off, the Spellcheck appears and then does nothing, somewhat like a woman who is only a tease. (Off topic, ten demerrits!)
Oldgrowth-
I guess I could write a summary and infuse it with all sorts of misguided value judgments and ridicule, but since I'm already doing that, why give the diatribe any substance?
Joe.

That's a pretty lame excuse, Roger. I'm planning to drive all the way up from Oregon. That's got to be farther than Czechoslovakia or whatever they call it now. |

Mike-
Thanks for trying to bring us up to date on the three threads from last year that didn't find any solution to the Spellcheck problem!
I think we just finally got so tired of messing with it that we gave up.
I don't really know Mac from Jack, or Crack from Smack, either, but know enough to leaf it alone. Now where's that Speelcheck dealie? 
Joe. |

| Google has a nifty spellchecker on their free toolbar download. I don't know if it will work on them Mac gizmos. |

If you use safari on the mac - the spell checker is built in. Look under the edit menu for "spell checker".

So, this announcement is just for the sake of announcing something.......... |
We have an important announcement to make here!
PopEye's in deep trouble  Very vulnerable at this time.
NO SPINACH! Does that mean Brutus will take off with
Olive Oyl ?? Is it possible that Brutus sabotaged the spinach patch??
Inquiring minds want to know.............

No worries Ruth, I think he only eats canned spinach. He's the man! Wait a minute, I reconize that hat. Does Joe smoke a pipe?

Robbi,
Happy to read your post and find that probably all is well with PopEye. The thought of Olive Oyl being abducted by Brutus sent shivers up and down my spine. (Joe says: Shivers Me Timbers, Matey, shiver me timbers).
This getting old is getting old. I'd forgotten about the canned spinach, the hat and the pipe. We have the spinach (canned) and the hat but don't have the pipe.

You can probably find one over in the hippy thread...

 I have just purchased a 19' Trawler C-Dory with a 90 Hp Suzuki 4 stroke outboard. I live in Charleston, SC. Would anyone be concerned about taking this boat down the IC waterway to Jax., FL - assuming I have all the req'd nav. equip., skill, etc.? I would plan on several days with many marina stops, hotels, (wife) etc. Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

Welcome aboard, flathbury. That 19 is a great boat - just ask Joe and Ruth from R-Matey. No problem with that boat on the ICW. There is a plethora of books on running the ICW; seems lately that the Skipper Bob books have gotten attention here. Try a google search on those.
Also, several of the folks who post here have done the Great Loop (or parts of it). Be sure to check out Halcyon Days, linked here. Your area is part of our planned itinerary for the future... perhaps our paths will cross.
You may consider starting a new thread with this post so more folks will see it and respond.
Best wishes,
Jim B.
