If you read blogs and are on the web you might have heard… Firefox 2.0 is out! Its an open source web browser for PC, Mac, and Unix/Linux that is free.
I wasn’t so excited until I tried it with Windows. It has built in SPELL CHECK! This is huge for me. I write blog posts and other things with a web browser a lot. Having built in spell check makes it MUCH easier. It prevents me from having to cut and paste my writing from a application that has spell check back into a browser form.
Not to mention the hassle of having to make sure the word processing application, like Micro$oft Word, doesn’t put in funny formating code. Example: The curly quote. [ “ “ ] Sometimes RSS feed creation software barfs on it. There are more silly stuff characters and formating code that isn’t ASCII. A small rock in may shoe that can really make life hard has been removed. Thanks Firefox developers.

You know, you could avoid the M$ Word funny-quote problem if you started using OpenOffice.org instead.
I've got OpenOffice on my PC. Sadly when I create a text document it does the same thing. My previous hack was using a text editor that had a spell checker. Now Firefox got tha goods I'm solid!
