4 out of 5 stars Very good book, passed the exam.......2007-10-07

This book was well written, and because of it I passed my exams. There were a couple spelling mistakes, but they are few and far between. Its getting a little bit outdated though, but its still enough to get you to pass. I would definitely read this book, but also have some supplementary reading too that would fill in what this book is missing.

5 out of 5 stars The "Alpha Geek" Rules! .......2007-10-05

Winner!! Mike Meyers writes the perfect book covering all objectives on the A+ Certification exam. Don't be intimidated by the size of this book. The book is a great read and covers everything in a very organized manner. I was able to pass both exams on the first try using this book and the A+ Passport book for a quick review before taking the exams. If you carefully read through the material, you should be able to pass with no problems. I can see now why so many technical college (including mine) in my state use this book as the main study guide. A job well done Mr. Meyers.

4 out of 5 stars book review.......2007-10-02

This book is very informative, current and well thought out. It has provided me with what i think are all the necessary tools to take my A+ Exams.

5 out of 5 stars Seasoned certification series that gets it done!.......2007-09-27

The other book of the set of two that I would recommend for those wanting CompTIA A+ Certification. This book are for those that are already familiar with the material and are more seasoned in the IT industry. It provides an outline of everything you need to know to pass all facets of the exam (and then some).

1 out of 5 stars Absolutely useless for A+ preparation.......2007-09-27

If you want to learn about computers and have no prior experience, this is an excellent place to start. If you are studying for your A+ certification, stay away from this book. For over a 1000 pages of material, its ridiculously light on real material. To make matters worse, the "practice exams" have questions that were not covered in the book. Mike Meyers is an absolute joke.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Lots of products not available in Europe.......2007-03-18

This book covers washing, cleaning, polishing etc your boat. There are instructions and a lot of ideas on household chemicals which can replace expensive boat-labelled products. There are a lot of product recommendations - not only generic advice. The downside of this is that a lot of the products described are not available in Europe.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Book to keep forever!!.......2006-07-14

Being boating enthusiasts, this book provided our family with the detailed information needed to keep "our baby" (Boat) in tip top shape! We have been looking for answers to the many questions concerning grooming and upkeep of our boat for years. We just ordered two more copies to pass onto other boating friends, as well.
Too bad they didnt make the pages water proof!!
This is the BIBLE for your BOAT! A must have! A must Keep!

5 out of 5 stars Gold.......2002-12-06

The people at International Marine know a subject that was in desperate needed of a book. This book not only describes methods to keep your boat looking great but also names names! It provides the brand names you can buy from your local marine store. This is a must buy for any boater's library.

Software developers make their programs ever more graphical; interfaces become ever more slick. But underneath the buttons and sliders, PCs are electronic systems comprising power supplies, logic processors, and specialized circuitry for such functions as video and sound. When the machine grinds to a halt, someone has to know how to identify the problem and get it straightened out. That's the function of the CompTIA A+ certification, and this new edition of Mike Meyers' A+ Certification Passport will help you earn it. Meyers combines reams of detailed information about IBM-standard PCs (which is to say, those running Intel, AMD, and Cyrix) with rock-solid troubleshooting advice. Look here for electronic details of the IDE and SCSI interfaces, as well as strategies for figuring out whether a problem is in a drive or in its controlling electronics.

Meyers has organized his book around the two A+ exams, which means you'll find excellent coverage of the subjects CompTIA includes (hardware from early days through the Pentium III era, and Microsoft MS-DOS and Windows operating systems through Windows 2000). Inversely, you'll find no coverage of potentially useful subjects that CompTIA doesn't test (Linux and Microsoft Windows XP, most notably). Updated coverage--of new USB and FireWire standards, as well as memory specifications--meets the high standard of the previous edition. This book will help you prepare for the A+ exams; it and a couple of supplementary texts will get you ready for the job site. --David Wall

Topics covered: The electronics of IBM-standard personal computers (motherboards, processors, memory, disk drives, video cards, network interfaces, and so on), and strategies for safely and efficiently troubleshooting and repairing them. Later chapters explain how to do configuration work in Microsoft MS-DOS, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 Professional.

Book Description

From the #1 Name in Professional Certification

Get on the fast track to becoming CompTIA A+ certified with this affordable, portable study tool. Certification training guru Mike Meyers will guide you on your career path, providing expert tips and sound advice along the way. With an intensive focus on only what you need to know to pass the CompTIA A+ Essentials and 220-602 tests, this certification passport is your ticket to success on exam day.

5 out of 5 stars "A+ Certified!!".......2007-10-05

All hail the "Alpha Geek" Mike Meyers!! I took the A+ Hardware exam in September 2006 and the OS Technologies exam in April 2007 and passed both easily using this Passport book and Mike Meyer's bigger book the "All In One A+ Certification" Guide. Everything that is written in the Passport book will be covered on the exam. Read through the whole book carefully about two times and you will do just fine. I've been doing hardware/software support now for about 5 years, and even I've learned some new things thanks to the help of Mike Meyer's book. If you are very new to hardware or software, I would recommend getting some hands-on experience in addition to reading the material. Do some volunteer work at your local charity/non-profit organization. Offer to help your friends or neighbors with their computing problems. You won't believe how much more proficient you will become the more you actually do it. Practice does make perfect, especially when dealing with hardware and software issues. Good luck to everyone pursuing the A+ Certification. :)

3 out of 5 stars Don't bother reading the reviews, they are for the old book........2007-08-22

Amazon has all the old pre 3rd edition reviews posted. These reviews are for the old books and the old exams.

3 out of 5 stars It's OK.......2007-08-09

I wish people would take the tests before rating these books.

My scores are 810/900 and 840/900 for Essentials and 602 respectively. Passing scores are 675 and 700 with 100 being the minimum.

I bought this book and A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Sixth Edition (A+ Certification All in One Exam) by the same author. I also bought the exam vouchers from them which came with 300 practice questions. Both books come with practice questions both in the books and additional ones on the accompanying CDs. However, the CDs and the downloaded questions were mostly repeats and nothing like the actual exams (same goes for the books).

I have over twenty years of tinkering with computers. I was an aerospace engineer and an Oracle database programmer. I just wanted to get this Certification for kicks. There is a lot of fluff in both books which has nothing to do with the exams. Neither book really tells you how the actual exam questions are like. Actual exams are generally much simpler and test you mostly on your broad knowledge rather than the fine details (the exams does not ask which socket Pentium II uses, but it does ask what does a series of long beeps mean after you boot up). If you know the basics and understand the logic, you will pass. You still need to know some details, but they are not the hard ones. There has to be better book out there.

Even though I already knew 80% of the subject matter, I studied real hard. There is more stuff in the other book worth knowing though (not for the test). But personally, fluff puts me to sleep. Just keep it brief and to the point and pertinent to the test, that's what the books are selling.

If you buy these books, make sure you already have some experience in the field and that you really study these books like a text book.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK!.......2007-01-25

I PASSED WITH ONLY THIS BOOK!, THE A+ SERIES FROM MIKE MEYER'S ARE THE BEST!

3 out of 5 stars Good book, but too many errors.......2006-09-23

I just passed my A+ tests; both in the 700 range, so I have to give Mike Meyers kudos for a really good book. The reason I gave this book 3 stars though is because there were too many errors in it. Words used that shouldn't have been used, sentences that made no sense, figures that were misnumbered, etc. I also used the 1100 A+ questions and those were also screwed up. One question said that ME can use NTFS. I emailed Mike Meyers about the book and he blamed the publisher for all the mistakes in the book. I've heard that other authors and publishers are just as bad so I guess we don't have much of a choice here. I did pass the tests so
even with all the mistakes, I am getting his Network+ book since it was rated so high. There really is no excuse for all the mistakes in books like these. In chapter 17 you will see "An NIC" instead of "A NIC" over and over again. That is just one out of many mistakes. I don't know how that could be the publisher's fault but I'll give Mike Meyers the benefit of the doubt.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction.......2003-11-05

I am half-way through this book and realize that I have used Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) for years. This was the approach we used because of HAZOP studies. If you look at the methodology, they are the same. It is an excellent book for first-pass economics of preventive maintenance (PM). Through numerous examples, he shows when to PM, when you are spending too much for PM, and when to just run the damn thing 'til it breaks. As I said, it is a great introduction. I have picked up Doc Palmer's book and can see I would be lost without preparation. If there are any short-comings, it is grammar and spelling. There are numerous typographical errors. Most engineers seem to have taken an-engineer's only english class in college. I found the errors troubling but the writing clear and concise. A very good book for a refresher (as in my case), or an introduction.

If this review was helpful, please add your vote -- Thanks.

5 out of 5 stars The "normal person's" PC book.......2006-02-27

If you are tired of all the PC how-to books that can't write a sentance in English, this is the book for you. Easy to follow with screenshots from the PC itself, this a guide even my mom can follow. It covers the basics of owning a computer from Windows 98 and SE, ME, and XP. How to keep them in tune and how to save some money doing it with free programs that are available online. What to take some of the mystery of the beige (black, grey, whatever) box on the desk, The Healthy PC will go long ways towards that end.

5 out of 5 stars Best book for computer users.......2005-11-04

The first time I sat down with this book, I couldn't stop. I'm not a PC guru, nor am I a "tin horn." I think anyone who uses a computer from power users to novices will find it one of the most practical, easy to understand texts you'll find.

I also "googled" his name and found his website CareyHolzman.com. What a treasure trove of advice and help.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to use a computer or increase the knowledge they already have.

5 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down!!!.......2005-06-15

I absolutely love this book!!! I read about it here on Amazon and ordered it right away. I have been reading through it and using it on my computer for the past three hours... I can't put it down!!! My computer already seems more reliable, and I fixed little problems that I wasn't sure how to (i.e. The annoying send error file reports).
One of the great things about this was how explanatory it was... Although I knew what a lot of computer jargon means, I understood it after reading this book.
I HIGHLY recommend this for anyone looking to take care of their computer!

5 out of 5 stars As clear as every computer book should be.......2004-07-10

When you work or deal with young people, talking about computers
is a big challenge and most of the times you feel like a "dummie or an idiot". This forces you to run to Barnes & Noble or the local Library to end up more confused and frustrated not knowing which book to pick.
"The Healthy PC" is not as tedious as other computer books,
on the contrary once you start reading you will not stop, and if you follow the steps Carey recommends you'll feel very comfortable.
This is a great book, to bad he does not have any publications about hardware, but I understand his next book will be about "networking" available next year, I can't wait to buy it.

I've been in the pool biz for twenty five years and this is the only pool related book I've read that didn't put me to sleep. It's clear,concise, and very understandable for people at ALL levels.

The pool business is a tough, comprehensive subject and Tom Griffith has done a masterful job at tackling all the issues.

    Book Description

    "Plant engineers and maintenance managers know from experience: All manufacturing equipment will break down, often at the worst possible moment. To survive in today's lean-and-mean manufacturing environment, companies must head off these breakdowns with a preventive-maintenance management program that is both systematic and flexible -- and geared toward minimizing downtime and maximizing equipment life. Fundamentals of Preventive Maintenance provides readers with an easy-to-follow, economically sensible maintenance and workorder management program. This results-driven guidebook outlines a 7-step process for designing and implementing the program, describing what needs to be done -- and why. Designed to transform an often unwieldy program into one that can be effectively managed, it provides hands-on techniques for: * Establishing critical scheduling protocols * Managing the daily workorder schedule * Developing and issuing preventive maintenance workorders * Monitoring the program and making improvements"

I've had the opportunity to watch this program work and it's dynamite. However, stepping up to this level and creating a new way of operation can be painful.
