*EDIT*
This is only tested in Safari so far.

Right click in a reply window (Er...control click). Go to spelling, click "spell as you type." You'll never have a misspelled word in a post again!

That feature's been there for quite a while, but takes up a sizeable CPU overhead on a lower-end machine (anything below 1Ghz G4)

Raggie, if you had one of those built-in spell fixers, you wouldn't be able to read your own writing. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink2.gif

It must be overhauled for Panther then. In Jaguar I could spell check individual words in Safari but couldn't set it to check as I go. Anyway I checked top and it's using 0% CPU and 1.5 Mb of memory. Right now I'm typing with the Activity monitor open and it isn't really requiring any extra CPU. I assume AppleSpell is the thread?

Raggie, Apple will probably never make a PC distribution. They're a hardware company, not a software company, don't let anybody tell you anything otherwise. If OS X ran on a PC then nobody would buy Apple hardware and /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gifoof: there they go.
