Mac OS X: Spell Checker

You may have noticed my Mac OS X theme in my blogging this week, and now I've got a simple post to wrap it up. Over the last couple of days I have been off of my laptop and working mostly on my desktop because I have been doing some C# programming. Of course I could still use my laptop yet boot into Windows Vista, but my ergonomic keyboard and dual 19" monitors are a must when programming.

While being back on my desktop in Vista so much, I realized something that I have found to be invaluable on Mac OS X: spell checker! It is everywhere, even when I am filling out a form on the web it is telling me where I am messing up so much. In "TextEdit" (much like Notepad) it works there--how many times have you been working on typing something up (maybe even a blog comments) and copy-past into Word just to check the spelling.

I know this is a simple thing, but a simple thing that makes life better for me when I am using my Mac vs running Vista. Maybe the Microsoft programmers are just smarter and don't have issues with spelling ;).
