As an unrepentant compulsive reader, I am often annoyed by misspells. First, it slows my reading down because I need to "evaluate" the word. Second, depending on the word, it might indicate that the write doesn't read very much otherwise they'd know how to use the word in the correct context.
I used to do something like this with win3.1. I would set the active window frame to green and the inactive window frames to red. Unfortunately when win 95 came out this didn't work out so well as too many other screen components were also deemed "active".
One of the members of that commission was science fiction author and physicist, Gregory Benford. He wrote a rather interesting book, Deep Time, on the concept of trying to leave markers ten of thousands of years in the future to warn of such things as nuclear waste disposal sites, for example.
When I work on a win95 box for friends and relatives I always ask for their emergency boot disk. If they don't have one I make a bootable disk with the cdrom drivers and mscdex on it ready to go if they should ever need it. Needless to say I have one of these for every dos box at home, M$, linux or whatnot. Sometimes it is useful to boot up msdos 6.22 once in a while. BTW if you have a upgrade win95 cdrom, you don't need win3.1 disks to install it. just create a c:\windows\win386.exe file on the HD and win95 will be happy.
Has anyone received the Linux version of Oracle 8i yet? A few weeks ago I received the Sparc version and yesterday the NT version tumbled through my mail slot. But what I really waiting for is the Linux version....

It sounds like the DC-X.

I seem to recall the title as "The Gold at the Starbow's End" by Fredrick Pohl.
