What do you mean by "anything"? That's kind of vague. The only thing I see
on the shelf at my local bookstore from Scott Mueller is his absolutely
excellent Upgrading and Repairing PCs, 15th ed.

However, this highly regarded book is about 1,600 pages in length. Which
does not make it a good recommendation for the original poster who already
has experience, and just wants a quick refresher before the current test
expires 30 days from today.

Hm, after searching the web and visiting Scott's website, perhaps you mean
his A+ book, which I had forgot about and is not often referenced in this
newsgroup? Even if that is what you were talking about, at 656 pages, that
would still be more pages to read than Mike's Passport which is 492.

Interesting points. For the last year I stopped learning and fell into a
repetitive pattern of fixing the same problems.
