The spell checker shouldn't be underrated. Sometimes an embarrassing typo in a public forum or in a message to the boss can be worse than losing the whole hard drive worth of data and leaking all credit card numbers to the scammers. That's why I'm switching to Bon Echo now, despite all warnings.

Well, on the other hand, Forecastfox is incompatible with Bon Echo, so people living in tornado prone areas should probably wait a little bit :-)
