Everything you need to know :-)
1 of 1 found this helpful Be warned, this book is not a quick crib sheet! There's well over 1000 pages here, covering every aspect of both the hardware and the OS exams. If you've left all your studying to the last minute, this won't help.
But - if you've decided that you truly want to understand the material, and aim for a really good score on the A+ tests, then this is an absolutely invaluable book. My partner used it for his exam, and scored well above average. I learned quite a bit too! It also comes with a CD in the back, although it was missing from the copy I bought, so I can't vouch for the content.
It's also a good book even for casual readers, although some of the material the tests cover is really quite old (I thought manual setup of IRQs died out with DOS?)
Don't be alarmed by the age of the book (2003) - last time I checked (2006!), all the material was still relevant to the current A+ exam. It's also the only really complete reference guide out there, as far as I know.

Still prefer the originals - however...
...this is a fun game. The graphics took a bit of getting used to; I don't really understand the drive to update old platformers with semi-3D graphics (see also the new Ghosts & Goblins remake for PSP).
However, the PSP suffers from a lack of good games, especially platformers - so Mega Man Powered Up is a welcome addition! It's quite difficult, but if you enjoyed the old NES games you should really expect that :-) The sound effects are a little on the irritating side (very tired of hearing Mega Man grunt every time he jumps), but the gameplay is still solid.
That said - I do with that the PSP would follow the example set by Nintendo. The platform games and remakes for the DS have been truly excellent - and the new Mega Man ZX blows this one out of the water...

The only truly great RPG on the PSP
3 of 4 found this helpful True, the PSP has a real dearth of RPGs. And this remake adds barely any content to the original, save a few (admittedly gorgeous) FMV movies.
But then, they didn't really need to change anything. This was a fantastic game back on the Playstation, and time hasn't dulled it at all. The unique game structure and fantastic premise - you are a Valkyrie, collecting the souls of the dead to fight in the final battle of Ragnarok - capture the player from the very start. There's not really been another game like it, save the new prequel just released for PS2. This originality is particularly welcome on the PSP, since all the other RPGs are very traditional in their storylines and approach (random encounters, defeat big bad foozle).
The platform elements are another original touch. When you enter a dungeon, town, or adventuring area, the perspective shifts to a 2D platform style. It reminds me slightly of Castlevania; you need to solve problems to reach new areas. Not only that, you are able to avoid enemies if your timing is right, or if you are able to stun them before they attack. I love this, since I can't stand random encounters!
I don't want to spoil the storyline, so I won't say much; however, the game is very well written, and you will definitely want to play through to the ending. Or endings, I should say; the game can end in a variety of ways, depending on what events you witness, how many warrior souls you are able to collect, and even on the difficulty level you choose.
I really can't recommend this game enough, so I'll finish here - but anyone with a PSP and even a passing interest in RPGs should not pass this up. And don't judge by the retro graphics - it's the gameplay and story that make this fantastic.
