I remember using Turbo Lightning. It was incredible. You type a word in some DOS program, and when you hit the spacebar, a beep would sound if the word was spelled wrong. Back then Peter Norton was all the rage, so if you typed "Norton" TL would beep and suggest spellings like "notion, nothing, etc." to correct Norton. The suggestions felt so AIish and futuristic to me. Wow a "suggestion" for how to spell something? If you selected a replacement, it would stuff the keyboard buffer with backspaces, to erase the word, and retype the correction. Borland made incredible software back then. Great times.
