THIS EDITION HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE NEW THIRD EDITION, ISBN 0972380183.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
The revised edition was published in 2008 so it includes none of the later technology that is present in most working PCs.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
If you've been assigned this book as a text or a lab book in your college class or in a PC technician training program, check with your instructor to see if you can use the third edition instead. The Third Edition is expanded approximately 50% over the previous edition, with new decision points, text, and some reworked flowcharts.
