Title: [poorly written]
Product review: ...we used this for a textbook spring semester.the book is very poorly written, and needs an edit badly. chapter 2 makes 3 attempts to explain the boot-up process. one attempt would be adequate if english were used.the analogy to an auto is cute, but worthless. it explains nothing.andrews uses the words "recall" and "remember" over and over and over.the book attempts to cover too many subjects. for example, leave networking to networking books. explain how a computer works, and that'd be more than enough, if clearly written.also, the book should be restricted to the current windows edition, for example, windows xp. and windows 3x, and 9x should be put into an appendix. it's just too confusing to newbies to attempt to explain the history of operating systems while the real task at hand is explaining how a computer works and computer repair.
