Okay, you asked for it... :-)

Page 1:

If you just want to participate in text-based newgroups like RADP,
there are several free servers available. The two that we will
discuss are Motzarella and AIOE.

Should be 'newsgroups'.

Page 4:
Also, if you are concerned about publishign your e-mail address, you
might choose a "disposable" address on this screen or use a "munged"
or "disguised"

Should be 'publishing'.

'For Mozarella, this will be "news.mtzarella.org".'

Motzarella wrong twice in the same sentence! :-)

Page 5:

So, I wonder how many newbies will be posting as "Rudeney" from
"rudeney(a)mickeypics.com"...
(Really, you might want to fake up an address...)

Also on page 5:

"Usenet servers also allow alternat communication paths, such as onm
port 80, which is normally used for HTTP (i.e. web broswing) and is
almost never blocked. Both Motzarella and..."

'alternat' and 'onm' and 'broswing'...

Page 6:
"When you select a newsgroup from the list and click the Subscribe
button, Thunderbird will donwload the messages from that newsgroup and
will keep them refreshed each time you run Thunderbird. Groups that
are subscribed will appear in the "folders" list undeneath the server
account:"

'download' and 'underneath'.

"With a broadband connection, downloading even tens od thousands of
headers usually only takes a few minutes. Once the headers are
downloaded, you can see them listed on the pane on the top right.
CLicking on a header will display the message on the bottom right
pane:"

'tens of thousands' and Clicking, not CLicking.

There might be more...

Thank you!

Done!

Noted!

No, it's actually a hexadecimal polynomial.

Thanks, Amanda - that was pretty thorough proofreading! :-)

Nah, it's just that it's typed with the left hand and I have a lack of
fine motor control on the last three fingers of my left hand so it's
sort of hit or miss and spell check does no good in that case!

I believe that it has now become acceptable as a single word for both
verb and noun forms. I actually prefer the word "configure", but I
needed to keep from sounding redundant.
