Re: Humorous "My, has technology changed." anecdote...



Hmmm, well, I guess if you had just "download" or "encrypt" or "decrypt", the dictionary should have recognized those words right? I would think those words existed back in 1992. :)

One other "word" that the dictionary might not recognize:  DSL  :D

I'm reviewing for "CPU Magazine," I thought I'd use AppleWorks on my GS
to write the article. Its the first time I've used AW for anything
since 1992, I'd say.

The article is only 350 words, but here are some words that TimeOut
QuickSpell didn't recognize:

DVD
Internet
downloaded
encryption
MPEG
iPod
decryption

Note that these are the same dictionary files I used throughout college
AND to answer all tech support mail when I was working at Beagle Bros,
so the've seen their fair share of big words.

Anyway, just thought I'd pass along a story that made me smile...
