[ros-dev] Security Suite

[David Johnson]

I think that is great.

I too have an idea.

How about a spell checker that intagrates into all running apps.
i.e. If I install a database I would like to spell check the data even if
the app does not have this feiture. The OS should have it. SkyOS has this
feiture.
