Customer Reviews
In short, I highly recommend this book to anyone studying for the A+ certification. Not only will it help you pass the exams, but more importantly, it will also make you a much better tech.
If you're not studying for the A+, but you still want to know more about real world PC and user support, then this book should still be on your must have list.
This book is for anyone (and I mean anyone) who wants to get started in IT or just how to build or repair PCs.
Everything is detailed out the way it should be and you wont be stumped with all the jargon either.
I will recommend this book to anyone who wants to know about computers and how they work. TOP NOTCH!
