Pass the A+ Certification exam with hands-on guidance from the leading A+ educator in the world!Mike Meyers' A+ Certification Lab Manual features 50 hands-on exercises focusing on PC troubleshooting and repair. You'll get step-by-step instructions to help you truly understand all the topics covered. Challenging practice questions reinforce key concepts.Amazon.com Review
If you have some book knowledge, a PC to dissect, and a lack of actual experience in cracking cases open, the A+ Certification Lab Manual will do everything but remove the floppy drives for you as it cheerfully walks you through your PC's guts. Guided walk-throughs, backed up with clear explanations and a more-than-generous dollop of real-world experience, make this a book that's perfect for beginners and intermediates. It won't get you through the test by itself, but it will definitely serve as a top-notch supplement for book-learners who are trying to expand their knowledge.

The Lab Manual is a series of 20 walk-through sections (there are 50 walk-throughs total, but they're grouped by category) that require some basic hardware knowledge. They focus on giving the reader a working knowledge of how the parts fit into the computer, how to put them together, and the common things that go wrong in the real world. So, while the hard-drive section doesn't go into great depth on the meaning of sectors and cylinders, it does have you identify and remove a hard drive, shows you how to configure the CMOS so that it recognizes a drive both manually and automatically, then shows you how to put it back in without a hitch. (It also covers formatting and partitioning.) This book serves as a nice yin to the yang you'll get with most A+ guides, giving you hands-on information that fleshes out your theoretical knowledge. After all, you can read all about cylinders and sectors, but what's ultimately going to be more useful--knowing what the cylinders mean, or being able to install a hard drive so that the computer recognizes it?

It's not until you actually read the walk-throughs in this book that you realize how perfunctory the exercises in other books are. Meyers spends a lot of time walking you through common mistakes that techs make, as well as giving handy tips for when things don't quite go right. (Can't determine which power pins to connect the on/off button to? Hook up the power supply and touch the connectors with a screwdriver tip until the fan whirs!) The depth and insight granted here are both rewarding and a pleasure to read, and, when you're finished, you should be able to vivisect and reassemble a test PC with little trouble.

However, one does wish that someone had told Meyers that a picture is worth a thousand words. It's frustrating to have a half a page's worth of writing on what an ISA slot and an ISA card look like without a single picture; particularly in the early hardware sections, this verges on the hair-tearing. And the pictures that are there are poorly laid out and in some cases blurry. Rather than a large picture with a tiny circle indicating what a fan clip looks like and how to remove it, wouldn't it be better to print a close-up of the clip so that we can see what the tech is actually doing?

Another slight problem with the book is its focus. To be fair, it really goes into some depth in the early and most heavily tested sections--the indispensable hardware parts like the processor, the motherboard, and the hard and floppy drives. And that is the stuff that the bulk of the A+ exam is about. But near the end of the book, the walk-throughs for the sections worth 5 percent of your total A+ score become almost exasperatingly short; the "Network" section only touches on wire and doesn't cover installing a network interface card at all. Likewise, the "Portable PCs" chapter, weighing in at all of three pages, doesn't even go through the basics of installing and removing a PCMCIA card from a laptop.

The third and final problem with the Lab Manual isn't really a problem at all, but could be viewed as such by some readers: it is not a reference guide. Commonly tested topics like the lists of hexadecimal memory addresses and the differences between the various processors aren't mentioned except in passing; if this is the only guide you buy, you are certain to fail.

But that isn't the point. What this book does do is meld the theoretical knowledge you've gained from whatever A+ reference you've used with the hands-on experience you'll need in the field. Using this in conjunction with a solid theoretical book will weld the knowledge into your head forever, reinforcing what you've already learned via endless lists and paragraphs into solid, screwdriver-twisting experience. You could pass the exam without this book...but it would be a heck of a lot harder. Recommended. --William Steinmetz ... Read more

Completely useless
If you're studying for the A+ Certification and you haven't traveled back in time to the year 2001, this is NOT the book for you.While I'm sure this was useful for whatever version of the A+ exam was being floated around in the pre-9/11 era, the information in this book is now completely obsolete.There's a reason this is (currently) available for 69 cents.When it comes to IT books, check the publishing dates.

Drop some money on the newest edition of Mike Meyer's A+ Certification All-In-One Exam Guide.(You know, the ~1100 page one.)I just passed the 2006 version of the A+ yesterday using that book as almost my only study material.

Mike Meyers is my new A+ guru!
I'm using Mike's book to study for my A+ exams, and I have found it to be very clear and easy to understand.I also picked up a copy of this lab manual, because it helps me to understand if I can actually try things.This book has been a great addition to my studying, and I think will make me a better tech. The labs are real-world things that you might really need to do as a tech, and you get practical tips - stuff an experienced tech might tell you if they were looking over your shoulder.I'm thinking of doing Net+ as well, and I'll definitely be checking out the Meyers book for that exam too!

The perfect companion to the book!!!!!
Mike Meyers is one of the most respected people in the computer certification arena. His 3rd edition A+ book is a huge success and the follow-up lab manual is sure be just as successful.

First thing I noticed was the over 50 labs included in the book, making this the perfect companion to his book. Also I noticed that the labs are tailored made for the classroom environment and can be adapted tot eh self study mode with little headaches.

Each lab has step by step instructions that make it easy to follow along. Labs cover components, motherboards, CPUs, RAM, Bios, busses, storage, DOS, Windows 9.X, 2000, although I think NT Should have been included, sound cards, modems, video, laptops, printers and networking.

The coverage of each exam objective is what impressed me the most. Overall this is a must have for those wanting to obtain the certification the first time around.

See how the experts get it done
This is one of the best books out there on the market. Its compact size means it is easier to find information and you can take it anywhere.

The exercises are practical (real ones that you might perform) ones and theri are clear detailed pictures. Although the pictures are not colorful they are still clear and effective. The layout is easy to follow as well. All operations are outlined in easy to follow steps.

Although this book explains some of the concepts that are used in the repairs and instlallations, this book does refer to the hardcover book so if you dont have the full edition then some computing knowledge is required to understand what the author is talking about.

All in all this is a very good book in showing you how the experts do their job. ... Read more

Good Book
Some big name authors in "Stalking the Wild Hare".It is a fun anthology to sit back and enjoy. I enjoyed all the stories, but my favorite three are: "Covenant" by Mike Stackpole. I couldn't decide if the main character is a vampire or a demon; If you like creepy endings, "The Pool" by Wes Nicholson; next is "The Roadshow" by Jean Rabe.A cute tale with little talking collectible antique cars that race around at an antiques show."In the Eyes of the Empress's Cat is a fun read too.There are stories in this book to please everyone, from fun to fantasy.

stalking the wild hare
What a great idea, all the panelists from GenCon writers symposium compiled a book of short stories. There are some really good ones in here. Don Bingle's Stew was excellent and Micheal Stackpole's Covenant was a bit creepy if you like that sort of thing. Since I don't think he's ever published a bad story make sure to read it. Jean Rabe's is a cute tale about what could happen if you were an antique at the Roadshow. Almost Brothers had a bit of a creep factor to it and I could imagine myself on Chris Pierson's And a Ship to Sail. I'd never want to be an inspector after reading Critical Violation but it was a good story by Daniel Myers. Steven Sullivan's stories never disappoint. Crimson the semi-immortal and a vortex machine, how does he come up with all that stuff?I've always liked Anton Strout's writing. If you are looking for a lot good stories in one book get a copy of Stalking the Wild Hare, you won't be disappointed. I sure hope they put out another next year for GenCon if so this one will become a collector's edition. Don't miss it. ... Read more

Tells of a little girl and her father who look for their favorite cat everywhere
Tim Myers' LOOKING FOR LUNA for ages 4-8 tells of a little girl and her father who look for their favorite cat everywhere. They meet lots of other cats along the way - but not their Luna. Mike Reed's drawings are fine accompaniments to this gentle story of loss and discovery.

This is an adorable story about little Luna, the little lost cat with "dark tiger-stripes," that your preschooler will love!
Luna cat was missing and a little girl and her dad had to go looking for her.Dad lifted up the lid of a garbage pail and pawed through.No cat.The little girl crawled inside a box to look.The only thing that could be seen was her backside sticking out of the box.Nope, no cat in that box.The first cat they saw was black and white.It ZIPPED right by them.No cat, no Luna.The next two were white, the other gold and tan.They playfully tumbled together on the lawn.Nope, no Luna in that tumbling mass.There was a yellow one walking along a stone wall.He had caught a mouse, probably in that old abandoned house with the boarded up window.There were all kinds of cats, but where was Luna?

This is an adorable story about little Luna, the little lost cat with "dark tiger-stripes," that your preschooler will love.This story in rhyme doesn't miss a beat from one cat to the next.The artwork had very deep colors and had a light perceptible old-fashioned touch that was very appealing. This story just danced with fun and adventure that preschoolers will enjoy.I also liked the father/daughter theme and the sense that this pair had some very special times together.This is one little story that all cat lovers are going to grab! ...
