Quad G5 almost fast enough

When is a Quad G5 Power Mac the first Mac that is just fast enough for a user's purposes? Perhaps you're thinking of folding proteins, modeling the human genome, or searching for intelligent life in the Universe? Nope, when you're a very fast typist.

At least according to Pierre Igot that's the case. You see, Pierre uses a program called Spell Catcher X to provide a single system wide spell checker (with one custom dictionary). Every time he would use the automatic replacement option and then type very quickly it would screw up, however, not so with his new Quad G5. Therefore, Pierre says, the computer isn't 'more than fast enough,' as many people say, but rather it is now becoming just fast enough.

Pretty funny, but I suspect the real issue is his software app. That's a mighty steep requirement for a spell checker...
