It gives you fewer distractions — and — when you *do* make the occasional typo with one of these added words, it will correctly display it as such. Right now, I have both Mirafone and Miraphone in my spelling dictionary, so neither triggers the evil, red underline. However, if I type Mirahone it catches it for me.

They may be, but they look virtually identical, and the specs are the same for both - 36.5 inches tall, weighs 25 pounds, and has a bell diameter of 21.75 inches. Even the cost is the same, $170, as is the tag line, "The Biggest Practical Bass Made."

I welcome your input - esp. corrections of more complete dates - thanks!

Edit: I suspect it's because it's linked to your website, which is apparently not certificated. Some browsers will accept it, some won't, and it may also depend on the intervening network. I think I followed a link to one of your articles, Dave, and my browser informed me that it was "not secure" but it showed it anyway. I would suggest that you're gonna hafta address the site certificate issue, or figure out what may be wrong with any certificates you thought you had.
