I appreciate the offer. The books I am looking for are on the following
topics:
A+(Meyers or Docter or Brooks)
CCNA(Odom)
MCSE Training Kits even if it is only on Windows XP Admin(Micrsoft
Press) or Winodws XP Inside and Out
I understand the last request may seem offencive considering this is a
LUG but one of the people I am trying to help can not even operate
Windows very well, he can not copy folders. When some of them saw me
working in a shell on my laptop they asked me if I was "writing codes"
or if I was programming. They want to learn basic Microsoft Admin stuff
to get tech support jobs so it does seem reasonable.
To be clear I have little use for these books and I own the XP one and
CCNA ones anyways. These books are for people who to put it bluntly are
poor and are looking for a way out of their situation. Thanks for any
assistance any of you can give.
