Yeah, this was the Karl Brogger / FX-One Big Pimpin' issue.

Not a whole lot going on in the winter. Last two years I had the sail patterns to keep me busy. Not so much this year.

This issue was uploaded on time, no stupid layout mistakes (although there are two mistakes in the on-line version - can you spot them?) - hopefully, this will mail on time, too.

Hints on the mistakes:

One is a misspelled word - truly misspelled; a typo that would be picked up by a spell check.

The other is a logical error. It's something that doesn't make sense.

I don't mean to be too nit picky, But the flyer for the Hoibe 20 NA's says June 3-7. In the schedule area page 4 it says H20 NA's June 8-12. I hope its June 3-7 because thats when I have vacation.

OK, four mistakes. :oops:

The NOR for the 20's is correct, the schedule page is wrong. That will get fixed in the online version ASAP. Too late to fix in the printed version.

The error you found, Karl, is something I have to watch constantly due to a quirk in the drop cap routine in PageMaker (a drop cap is the big first letter of the first word in an article). It's slick that it will automatically create one, but the automatic hyphenation doesn't work when it's done. I have to check it manually. I'm surprised the spell check didn't catch it.

The other two mistakes are still out there . . .

Another hint: One is in an NOR. The other is in a feature article, but not in the FX-One article.

Where is the online version? Are you referring to the proof copy sent by e-mail? I was assuming that the online version was on the HCA site.

Refresh your browser cache.

In IE, <shift><F5> forces a reload of the page.

That's their mistake (I just print what they send me) - you want to tell Bob Johnson, Mr. Division 14?
