Yes, but before Spyglass was a browser company, we were a developer
of scientific visual data analysis tools.  Those tools started on
the Mac, migrated to UNIX, and then a Windows version.

between discreet and discrete.  :-)

Hmmm.  A problem of word choice.  A grammar checker would have caught

is a word processor.  Does that mean this thread has ended up back
on topic?  ;-)
