Here's a key to the markup:

	[page-number]: serious technical mistake
	{page-number}: minor technical mistake
	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
	?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification


Confirmed errors:


(79) para. 3: "As simple" should be "A simple"


(79) code sample 2, line 5:  "... You're browser ... " should be
"... Your browser ... "


{80} 2nd paragraph under "Packaging: Java Archive (JAR) Files"
	
	In the text it says "ARCHIVES attribute" which should be "ARCHIVE
	attribute". (I tried to let my Applet run with an ARCHIVES
	attribute in the APPLET tag, it didn't work too good. ;o) )


{81} The URL in the footnote should be:

	http://www.opengroup.org/RI/java/moa/moajar/index.html


(91) Figure 3-4

	The text says "You should see my certificate in the list, as 
	shown in Figure 3-4." Unfortunately the list in the figure 
	is empty. Somehow the text right under the "Figure" line should 
	be in the list.


(114) 1st text: "arry" should be "array"


(206) Figure 8-1:  "newThread()" should be "new Thread()"


(248) "West coast" should be "west coast"


{582} the entry for insertElement should be for insertElementAt()


{564} comment from a reader:  use "element" instead of "tag" when referring 
to the semantic object; tags delimit elements, and using the two words 
interchangeably engenders confusion.  (This is akin to using "handler" and 
"interrupt" interchangeably.)

reply from the author:  This is true, but it's the common usage.
