George, I humbly beg pardon from those who are afflicted with such software. I
have poured money and time into PCs ever since my original Apple IIe in 1982,
but it never occurred to me that such limitations existed.

Knowing this, I'll now be a bit more considerate of poor spelling and grammar in
on-line messages, hoping of course that the writer is not like my students who
falsely claim such handicaps to avoid my criticism.
