Excellent.......2007-09-11

The book has signs of wear and tear, but other than that the book was great. With a better price than any bookstore can offer who could pass it up?

You cannot say "No.".......2007-01-04

Without this book, you are pretty much on your own when you are reading the main text. All the problems are solved clearly. Just reading it as a textbook can give you extra tips on somethings that you might have skipped in the book. Sometimes, you might get confused. Well, it is just chemistry. Read carefully.

Book Description

Customer Reviews:

Very helpful. One can find the basics of DSP.......1998-07-06

This book is written more like a text book. The DSP techniques are explained in a very simple way. No special need to be acquaintant with the DSP before reading it. If one is proficient in this field, there is nothing new to learn from the book.

Makes being a computer technician fun!.......2000-03-20

Mark Minasi wrote the book, The Complete PC Upgrade and Maintenance Guide and it was a proven winner. Now we have the perfect addition to that book and hands-on lab manual that makes learning easier and fun and will help even the most experienced technician.

The manual includes 41 labs that have you working on memory, hard and floppy drives, modems, irq conflicts, troubleshooting, upgrading and everything in between. Also included are lab reports, which will help you, track your progress along the way.

The appendix included covers the four essential upgrades, the power supply, the hard drive, the floppy drive and the scsi card. Missing from this book is a cd-rom with utilities and questions. Also the book should have been tailored around the A+ Certification.

Book Description

This book is about how microcomputers can be used to help control and interface with sensors in laboratory experiments. The computer work is done mostly in the context of several physics experiments, such as the physics of activation temperature, heat diffusion, and motion in fluids. These experiments show how with computer control conceptually sophisticated experiments can be performed with simple apparati. The authors explain how the computer interfaces with common sensing devices, including digital-to-analog coverter, analog-to-digital converter, timers, digital input and output devices, optical encoders, stepping motors, and analog amplifiers, to provide a link between the experimenter and the physical phenomena being studied. The authors chose the IBM-PC, AT, or XT (which can apply to clones as long as they have expansion slots to accomodate boards) as their example, and use Turbo Pascal (Version 4.0 or greater) throughout the book for programming. Most of the programs will be presented by way of example, so some experience in computer programming is necessary. The equivalent of two semesters of college physics is also helpful to understand the experiments.

Book Description

There's a reason this memoir of a 100-year-old woman's sun-soaked rural childhood is not at all what it seems. In Bruno Maddox's warmhearted comic novel it is soon revealed why a young man who knows very little about history and even less about being a woman attempts to improvise an old woman's autobiography in a single frantic night, and why he fails. A love story, a murder mystery, an acclaimed satire, My Little Blue Dress is a hugely entertaining and hilariously audacious fiction debut, "a winsome and vastly entertaining novel" (The New York Times Book Review) by a marvelous new literary talent.

"In his first novel, Maddox concocts a hilariously off-the-wall satire of the memoir. . . . Brilliantly funny . . . Maddox's writing is purposely uppity, but the kitschy, honest overtones communicate a very witty take on love and life." (Publishers Weekly)

"Hilarious . . . fun, full-throttle stuff." (Entertainment Weekly)

You Can Dress Them Up, But You Can't Take Them Out.......2007-09-26

MY LITTLE BLUE DRESS is the memoirs of a woman born in 1900...or is it? The author attempts to be clever by beginning the novel with a young girl writing in the first person. In the dialogue that ensues, the girl has a heavy English (Cockney?) accent. She then immediately loses it, questions its loss, and moves on, never mentioning it again. She also starts out telling tales of her youth...which are later in the novel replaced by diary entry observations. Her observations (as an invalid) are of her caregiver (named Bruno Maddox just like the author) and his messed up life because, she states, he has "Caregivers Syndrome." I think the author said it best, so I will quote directly from him by saying that this book is a "steaming pile of nonsense."

I'm sure the author, Bruno Maddox, is trying to be artistic and unique in his storytelling. And he has succeeded. It is artistic and unique and truly, I'm sure, his voice. However, somebody forgot to tell him that the story/novel should also be entertaining and readable. I literally had to force myself to finish the book, a "terrible reading marathon." I kept waiting for some big discovery or revelation that never materialized.

"No suspense. No human interest. The only jokes are of the 'darkly, profoundly comic' variety. Just a total lack of value, reader, clever-sounding nonsense spun out to inordinate length."

I think somewhere in between all the nonsense and rambling is a story of redemption and coming of age, but I didn't care enough about the writing, the story, or the characters to find it. Bruno Maddox (the character, not the author) never quite grows up and, thus, ruins his relationship with Hayley, who apparently has low self-esteem since she keeps welcoming back the loser Bruno without just cause. Dear Reader, if you're looking for a better book of "growing up," I refer you to I Just Want My Pants Back: A Novel. At least with this novel, you'll be more entertained.

Another note: by naming the main character after himself, the author Bruno Maddox has only succeeded in drilling his name into my memory so when I see it again in a bookstore, I will know to avoid it.

Loved it!.......2005-07-07

This weird and quirky book was right up my alley. I loved the originality, the writing, and the whole crazy story. I hope to see more from this writer.

again, love it or hate it..........2004-03-08

I just finished this book, and I didn't find it half-bad. As the narrator says, you're supposed to loathe Bruno Maddox. It's a very wry, tongue-in-cheek poke at himself and memoirs in general. I agree with the poster that you'll lvoe it or hate it. It takes a moment to get used to, but I enjoyed it.
My favorite part? Being personally addressed by actual name in the last 35 pages :-P

Step Over, Salinger - And Turn Green With Envy.......2003-12-07

First of all, My Little Blue Dress is a great read, fresh, original, and laugh-out-loud funny. Second, it is unquestionably genius, a post-modern antidote to the outdated coming-of-age novel. This wry, perverse little book calls to mind Salinger's Catcher in the Rye and Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise - not because it resembles that [grossly overrated] canon fodder in form, attitude, or the youth of its protagonist, but in the way that it brilliantly chronicles the turbulence of self-creation. Maddox's challenge is far steeper than his predecessors, given an older hero and an era ruled by chaos and chronic self-reinvention, yet he succeeds brilliantly, creating a book that is not only admirable but also a joy to read. Whimsical, farcical, philosophical; in short, creative thinkers will adore this book. Be warned though: if a straight memoir is what you're seeking, you'll definitely want to stick to "Having Our Say"!

this is a hilarious book!!.......2003-10-24

i was at a bookstore, looking for something to read. i found this book on the back shelf and i tried it out. if you are looking for a truly funny book, filled with bizarre twists and anecdotes,then this is the book for you. i recommend it to everyone!
