Don't feel bad John, I'm a poor speller too, and so is no less a brain than
Stephen Wolfram. Stephen has a titanic intellect, but when he wrote the first
version of Mathematica 10 years ago he misspelled the word "Millennium" with
only one n. To this day, if you want to convert 65 miles per hour to meters
per millennium the command you have to give is:
Convert[65 Mile/Hour, Meter/Millenium]
Personally I think you and Stephen are right and everybody else is wrong.
Speaking of Mathematica, I would be interested in comments on version 3.0 and
how it compares to competing programs, I'm thinking on punching it and at
$1300 I want to be sure it's the smart thing to do.
