Review:
You have roots in cyberspace. The information revolution has granted us practically unlimited data storage capabilities and unprecedented speed in sorting and collating that data--absolutely perfect tools for genealogy. SAMS Teach Yourself Today e-Genealogy will help you get started exploring the mountains of information about your family and even publishing your own findings. Internet consultant Terri Stephens Lamb lays the groundwork for you with a disarming, wisecracking style that sets even the most technophobic readers at ease. Rather than fill her pages with exhausting lists of sites, she has chosen to help readers learn to find information on their own. (There is, however, a good list of starting places at the end of the book.) Learn... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
There are many troubleshooting guides for PCs. The information varies, and some books contain more than others. There are some fairly common points which other works cover, and which this one doesn't. But I would suggest that, regardless of whether you already have a favorite guide, you get this one as well. It isn't necessarily better than the others, but it does contain a wealth of information in different areas which I haven't seen any other book cover. There is, for example, a *really* good introduction to CPUs and the motherboard. Much of the material is eminently practical, and a lot of it simply isn't addressed in other repair publications. If you get this book, I would recommend that you get another as well, since it does... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
BlackLightning is a firm that remanufactures (refills and refurbishes) laser printer toner cartridges. For many years, they have published "The Flash" magazine, initially as a newsletter for their own customers, and eventually as a self-supporting business, in its own right. This book reprints articles from the first four years of "The Flash". As well as background on the operation of laser printers and the manufacture of toner, there are several articles on maintenance, and even minor repairs. One chapter gives a very thorough troubleshooting guide based upon image analysis. Given the background of remanufacturers, they present detailed information on the refill process. As a bonus, there are interesting tips on specialty toners a... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
This book is a kind of lengthy, detailed, and quite practical job description for system administrators. Although most specific examples used in the work deal with UNIX, there aren't really any tips or directions for particular administrative tasks, so this could be a decent guide for any platform. There are chapters dealing with software, hardware, physical plant, security, administrative skills, personal skills, and the administrator's career. The chapter on networking is quite weak, really only giving you the jargon to talk about it. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1995

Review:
For intermediate users who are moving from MS-DOS to UNIX, this book does provide a very helpful "first step". The commands and operations chosen are suitable for those who can make their own batch files and do some disk management. One warning should be given: the level of typographical and other errors is very high. It may not be important that "Bornshells" (page 13) are referred to as "Born shells" in the index (page 224) and only correctly given as the Bourne shell on page 107. The description of DOSSHELL as a command history utility might be more confusing for the target audience. Errors such as the command to "COPY CON: file" might be more important since they won't work (as well as confusing DOS and UNIX syntax). For interm... Rest of this review on the detail page
