P.105

First paragraph: "Because these extension types are mounted, you                            
can return your system to a pristine state by simply unmounting the extentions or rebooting"

UNC's can't "simply" be unmounted

Same thing when I'm writing a report. Why doesn't the reader know what I meant?  :D

I agree that the secondary (continuation prompt) ">" should have also been displayed. But then again, it may have just added to the confusion.

I vote for the 'secondary (continuation prompt) ">" ' because that is what the beginner will see if they use the line continuation escape character and a carriage return.

Page 25, "... (currently, 1GB models are offered)."

Perhaps this could be left out of the book since technology is moving too rapidly for editions of the book to be correct in this statement.
