ha! you would not believe the typos i made when i used to type in those
superlong magazine listings back in the 80s. it also didn't help that some
magazines would purposely include errors to force you to buy their next
issue for the fix or the disk they offered at a premium price. as for my
typos, all those data letters and numbers started to look the same by the
seventh or eighth hour of typing. then when it wouldn't work, 
troubleshooting it was another major pain.   ):
