Reader Reviews. If you have a chance to pick up a copy of this 3rd Edition, you'll find it very well written, nicely illustrated, and RICH with relevant technical information... You'll also find it very much out-of-date... This 3rd edition was published in 2001, which means most of the material in it is vintage 2000 (FOUR years old!)... Okay if you are still using Windows9x or NT4 and just need a very good architecture based desk reference... But, the material in the 3rd Edition maps to the 2000 A+ exam, NOT the 2003 A+ exam, and is consequently unsuitable for current A+ certification preparation, especially the software component, that focuses heavily on supporting Windows XP and is NOT included in this 3rd Edition... The 4th edition of this textbook was published in 2003, and the latest edition (at this writing), the 5th edition, has been available since February 2004 (I have it; it's EXCELLENT!)... ALL editions are also available, at extra cost, with a Lab Manual, a PC Pocket-Sized Troubleshooting Guide (EXCELLENT!), Computer-Based A+ Training CDs (HIGHLY recommended), an A+ Course Prep Study Guide (MUST HAVE if you're prepin' for A+), and a 22-piece Basic Toolset including a Digital Multi-Meter, that is good, very reasonably priced, and you'll need if you have zero tech tools... If you're lookin' for a very good architecture based desk reference for Windows9x or NT4/2000 only, try to find this one used... BUT, if you are looking for an architecture based desk reference that INCLUDES Windows XP, Pentium4, 800 MHz buses (NOT 133) and a more updated mapping to the 2003 A+ exam, buy the 5th edition... You can find it at course dot com/pcrepair... Oh yeah, almost forgot... The CD that accompanies this 3rd edition does NOT have a free copy of 'Nuts & Bolts' on it even though the textbook says it does...
