don't forget about all that ink/toner taurus...

**dubstar** · April 23rd, 2003

is it worth the download?

jonifen · April 23rd, 2003

possibly... even the ppl who know everything about computers could learn some stuff from books - and even if they did know everything from the book... who's to say they do it the same way (always nice to learn variants on various methods

)

what isn't? unless you have dialup, just download it and put it in the background. it doesn't take any effort from you.

and i find it plenty informative. and it has tons of pinouts of every connection you'll find... scsi, ata, firewire, usb, all power supply form factors, etc etc... even the pins of different processors.

published august 2001.

Saw this thread a while ago, but didn't respond then.
Thanks for the great link, Teddy

**Taurus** · April 27th, 2003

for people who want to print this... i'd suggest doing two pages per side, both sides of each sheet. so each peice of paper yields 4 pages. oh, and be sure to set the printer to "super-econo" mode.

and then it'd be ideal to print them in an order so that you could stack them, staple in the middle, fold, and have it like a book with the page numbers in the right order.

i haven't done this yet. :huh:
