Are Computers Student's best friends?

Last week we work on vocabulary related to computers. Along the year you have many times refered to computers/PCs as one of the greatest invention of all times, and a technical device that has changed your life.
Would you then agree with this picture?

One of the many devices PCs have is a spell checker. According to the wikipedia "In computing, a spell checker (or spell check) is an application program that flags words in a document that may not be spelled correctly. " However, things are not as easy as they seem. Here is a poem on the topic found on Internet - author unkown. So, do you think you can beat the machine and be a better spell checker than the PC? Please post on the comment section your "spell checked" version of the poem and have fun while doing it. 

"Eye have a spelling chequer,
It came with my Pea Sea.
It plane lee marques four my revue
Miss steaks I can knot sea.

Eye strike the quays and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am write oar wrong
It tells me straight a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It  nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error write
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I'm shore your pleased two  no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew."
