I've probably gone blind, but where's the mistake?

I downloaded the Sky Alert thing a few days and love it! Very clever stuff indeed.

Columbia.

Since when has Columbia been spelt Culmba?

Well I'm sure I spotted a spelling error on one of their supers as well. Instead of "NASA MANAGEMENT" it read "NASA MANEGEMENT" but changed before it came up again.

The fact that is says Culmbia and Columbia proves that it's a typo not an error.

Yes, looks like somebody being slapdash with the keyboard more than anything else... if it'd been a proper spelling mistake, it would have been "Colombia", probably!

On a slightly unrelated topic, those Sky Alerts, wouldn't look out of place on a Mac running OS X!
In fact, they'd fit in perfect alongside the brushed chrome looks of Safari, QuickTime, and iTunes.

Shame they've no plans for doing a Mac version anytime soon . . .

Q. Is there a Mac version? Are there any plans
on releasing a Mac version in the near future?

A. Unfortunately the answer is no. The company has decided to focus on
a Windows only version of the software. The reason for this is that our
software is very complex and currently we have chosen to dedicate
all our resources at making sure the Windows version is as
reliable as possible.

We would really like to build a Mac version and
we will definitely try to do so in the future.

Sorry Mac lovers!


Surely with all the IT resources available at Sky, they could manage a Mac version as well . . .
