Number of nets table

Hi, this is a minor error. I've learned a lot from this book!

The minor mistake (I suppose): the paragraph "You can compute the number of nets as follows..." Appendix C has the following multiplication:

Clas B: 64 * 256 = 16128

I suppose it should be 16384, instead of 16128.

Again, this is a minor mistake. This book is amazing. Congratulations!

Love from Brazil,

Osmar Gomes

Note from the Author or Editor:
You are correct, although this error is on p. 485 of the First Edition, not the Second Edition. Good catch!

The line about Class B networks (near the bottom of the page, about 5 lines up from the bottom) should read:

* Class B: 64 * 256 = 16,384
