Didn't we go thru this before where a sleep tech wanted to solve world hunger but never answered a question after his initial post?

Guest, you are correct and I was wondering if we were going to have "instant replay" with this person. I hope not but I am starting to wonder.

Yeah I was just thinking that it's awfully hard to have a Q and A session if the person who is supposed to be doing the A part is missing in action...

Yep, I haven't been on very long and I've seen it a couple times already.

I suspect that he had some free time after hooking up his patients for the night and was surfing the web to avoid falling asleep

Doesn't always keep me from using the "wrong" word, but at least if I misspell something, it'll tell me with a red underline.

I haven't figured out how to add words to the vocabulary of the spell check feature on my IPad --yet.
The folks who programmed it seem to be reading at about a 6th grade level.
--But the local newspaper employs people who quit learning new words in the third grade!
Anyway, the sleep tech is functioning exactly as expected.

I've noticed that.

Maybe the folks who programmed the iPads ARE 6th graders.......
I wouldn't know as I have never and will never own anything with an Apple logo on it.

there's even a spell check on the board here.... right up there in the upper left corner above the posting window....

of course, having some idea what words are supposed to look like, helps...

I'm sure we're expecting too much from some 'poeple'.
