   Don't either of these machines have spelling checkers?  Me thinks a
   computer hater, or worse yet, a PC user that hasn't yet figured out the
   alt-shift-control-fkey-cryptic command that runs the spelling checker.

My bet would be that the mysterious WordWrite (whatever it is...)
doesn't have one.  That, or many people on the Mac didn't realize it
was there.
