Week 4 - EBSCO's Australian PC magazine abstract typos

came across EBSCO about 5 years ago at the Woodvale public library.

back then, they seem to scan articles into their abtracts database but didn't check for typos.

I shall have to see if they have improved since.

looks like they have NOT.
"Socket 939 has eitra electrical connections for AMD's HynerTransport bus. allowing it to ramp up to ablating 1GHz."
==
"Socket 939 has extra electrical connections for AMD's HyperTransport bus. allowing it to ramp up to a blazing 1GHz."
"Gigabit Eltwrnet. Nuidia Firewali." = "Gigabit Ethernet. Nvidia Firewall."
"see an improvement in spaed." = "see an improvement in speed."

just goes to show that u shouldn't believe all you see on the net.

should I tell them about this
"Quizás, Quizás, Quizás" (also known as "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" in English)
