Here is a (very) small error I found on page 206 of "PC Hardware in a

Nutshell, Second Edition".

"from hanger queens" should read, "from hangar queens".

The term "hangar queen" comes from aviation where a "hangar queen" is an
aircraft that rarely flies because it always has problems, and is
usually in for repair, or because it has been "cannibalized" for spare
parts.
