My apologies for this newsletter being so Cisco-centric, but there just isn't a lot of news to report from the other vendors at the moment. Stay tuned and I am sure our next issue will have information more relevant to you and your studies.
New Moderator:

Network+ Study Guide, 4th Edition - Sybex
Reviewed by Raied
This book was all I used to pass the N10-003 exam. I did enjoy the reading. I would have liked to see more material on wireless networks. That said, it did provide the material needed on wireless networks to pass the exam. Four stars for this book.
Upgrading and Repairing PCs - Que
Reviewed by Marathonman
I really liked this book. Scott will take your understanding of hardware to whatever level you want--from enough knowledge to pass the A+ hardware test to understanding advanced hardware problems. The author does one of the best jobs I have ever seen at writing a technical book without making someone feel like they are out of their depth or wasting their time on something that is just too easy. I could send this book to my little old mother so that she could build her next computer.
This book was not written with the Comptia A+ Hardware objectives in mind, but it will build an understanding for the subject that is rare, if not impossible, to find in the industry today. This book does an outstanding job of bringing a new tech up to speed including a remarkable explanation of the history of computers often missing (to the detriment of any technician) in other titles. It includes 3 very good hours of video that comes on a DVD with other reference materials, the past editions of this book in .pdf format, and access to the members only part of Que�s web site where you can read current and up-to-date articles covering Operating Systems, Consumer Electronics Productivity Applications, Upgrading and Repairing PCs, and more.
If you are working to get into the IT world and want to pass A+ hardware, you just dabble with computers, or you are a full blown network admin, this is a book you will be packing everywhere you go as �The Hardware Reference Manual.� At 1600 pages, packing is the right word for it. But if you are anything like me, you will enjoy each and every page.
