    Ah, but some online resources can help if you don't quite know how to spell a word. When I'm stuck for exactly the right expression, I like the hyperlinking feature of thesaurus.com and dictionary.com to help make sure I'm saying what I mean.

    An early version of MS Bookshelf had a wonderful, completely integrated electronic dictionary, thesaurus, encycolpedia, almanac, and collection of quotations. It ran on Win98 but future versions of Windows wouldn't support it. Today's internet is not as concise, or always as accurate, but probably much richer.

    Regards,
    Rex.
