A computer instructor's guide!

You want to study computer hardware. You need to know how Windows 2000 Professional works and most importantly you need to learn how Office applications work with both Windows 2000 and the hardware of the system. You need to buy 8 or 9 books, or do you?Marc Herniter has taken the trouble to put together a 900 plus page book that covers each of the areas and will give you a better understanding how each integrates with the other. Herniter's book are not written to any exam certification specifically, however there is enough information to supplement your studies.From hardware topics like memory, disk storage and video, to Windows 2000 topics like the file system, explorer, desktop, management and system utilities to Word, Excel and PowerPoint in Office 2000, Herniter gives you a very good book to work with.Also Herniter includes networking and the internet through Windows 2000, which is certainly a great bonus. The omitting of Applications like Access, Front Page, Outlook and Project does mean you will need other books, hopefully in the 3rd edition these topics will be covered. There is an abundance of screen shoots to help make the author's points in every topic. Also the additional questions at the end of each section are a great study bonus. The Cd-rom that comes with the book includes several tutorials from DOS to Windows 2000 to Office 2000. For those that teach this is certainly a book to take serious look at.
