John,
Thanks! I'll go ahead and order 4th edition book or a kit, going to
look for it locally first. I've gone through the Exam Prep book that I
purchased many years ago, but need to brush up with an up-to-date
guide.
Do you have any input on the exam cram or the network+ "pass****t"
books, to review and material before taking the exam ?
Plan on taking the test at the end of the month / early february.
