2. Since you want to pay close attention to abbreviations and numbers I would go through the paragraph and change all numbers to words and spell out all abbreviations leaving the rest of the text exactly the way it is.An abbreviation I see right away is ID so spell it out as identification. You could even change 11:00 PM to read eleven o'clock at night. Change www to internet. The words dvds and cds and docs should be written out as what these abbreviations stand for.I would also change the word online to internet. I think I see the word online twice in the paragraph . I just saw the word Macs, Spell this out too
