May 2009: Build the Ultimate TV & Movie PC

Where is the rest of the article on page 24 of the May 2009 issue? I have checked both the paper and online editions and can not find it. This is another glaring example of the many editing and proof-reading errors of Maximum PC publishing.

Editor Edwards, really, the point here is that any article particularly a technical one tends to lose it's value, quality, not to mention it's authenticity if it is incomplete, and or undeciphereable.

How was a reader to know that the missing word(s) is NewEgg? Or that the paragraph did not go on for another several dozen words? I imagine that Maximum PC readers are pretty smart , but I did not know that they are Fortune Tellers who can look at a blank page and immediately infer what the author of the unwritten article intends to write.  

I have been reading Maximum PC for many years now, and my current subscription is valid until 2011, but I can not tell you the countless errors (missing words, mis-spelled words, proof-reading errors, grammatical errors), that continue to show up both on-line and on each paper edition. Keep in mind that a missing word here, a missing word there pretty soon adds up to a whole missing paragraph.
