Should I tell him about the typo in the second paragraph of the opening page?
Yes, yes a thousand times yes! How else is a webmaster who maintains
hundreds (and I mean hundreds) of pages on a purely voluntary basis
going to know of errors?

Violates the first rule of publishing:
...and if you know anything about publishing you will know that
however much effort you put in, the typo-free publication does not
exist. The typo hits you in the eye as soon as you open the printed
page.
The typo mentioned is probably the result of quick and dirty editing
a couple of years back of info that was pertinent five years ago.
Some of the original concerns are no longer relevant (the web-safe
colour palette has died a death with improvements in displays), and
as I no longer teach that particular class, the updates were made to
patch those aspects quickly so my enemies could not use this as
ammunition against me. (Web design is a war.)

PS Although I think these pages are an excellent example of website
design for easy navigation, the way they are coded is out of date and
is not what I would use now. However life is too short to recode them
just for aesthetic purity.
