If you use the Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer (and whatever other browser it supports, if any), you may know about this new feature....

For those who yearn for a spell checker for this board (or any other board on the Internet that doesn't have it's own spell checker) check this thing out....the spell checker works GREAT with any web form, including the Pace Advantage message board.....

It would be interesting to see how it "corrects" the horses' names!

I have heard that the Google toolbar is loaded with spyware...anyone had any experiences with this?

I don't think there is any spyware....if there is, I haven't been able to find it....I've been using the toolbar for years....

I have heard that the Google toolbar is loaded with spyware...anyone had any experiences with this?No it isn't. It does have some features that collect info, but they tell you that up front and you can turn them off...

I don't mind them collecting info -- I don't think Google will spy on me for the goverment and if they need my info to target their ads so they can make a living, well that's a trade off I think you have to make. Otherwise, Google would not have a business and I would not have its cool applications.
If I feel uncomfortable with that i will do without the app. Obviously its a matter of personal preference and comfort level.

Personally, I don't use anyone's toolbars - too many of them are just plain trojan horses. I object to anyone collecting any information on me. Until I see some cash for me next computer, what goes on it is my call.;)
