They scoffed at the idea, for back then the personal computer was very expensive and rather primitive. <br /><br />There was no spell check. <br /><br />But as usual, I have the last laugh :)The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-7927418177270058482009-05-29T12:17:48.748-05:002009-05-29T12:17:48.748-05:00I took part in the Spelling Bee as a kid, but neve...I took part in the Spelling Bee as a kid, but never made it past the state contest. <br /><br />Kudos to Kavya and all the other kids that took part in this years Bee.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698117410778232102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-43477236848044415282009-05-29T09:35:45.162-05:002009-05-29T09:35:45.162-05:00No doubt, Shark Fu.

And Kavya, the girl who won? Yikes, she's scary good. The kid who finished second was a great speller, but there was just no way he was going to get past her.Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-23965593382214803072009-05-29T09:03:34.227-05:002009-05-29T09:03:34.227-05:00Came upon it through random surfing just as the fi...Came upon it through random surfing just as the finals began. Could NOT turn away... the Dearly Beloved and I starting closing our eyes and pre-spelling to see how we'd do. I think I got two right (menhir and maecenas) - the rest I was beyond lost.
