Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have been using this book to help me roll out a new Vista deployment. This book has been indispensible.

The Vedic Prophecies: A New Look into the Future Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book seems to follow the standard Vedic lines without questioning them at all. One fact that kind of bugged me was how long Kali-yuga is to last... 426,000 years! Ok, this is the shortest of the 4 yugas and it is the 4th one. That would make it impossible for us to be in this yuga. To me, this simply...

Cisco CCNA Training Kit Exam #640-507 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The reading assignments are simply 199 page long PDF files. There is NO interactivity within the reading assignments themselves, and the "simplified navigation" is limited to jumping between 199 page long PDF files from a menu. The PDF files are all material printed in Cisco press books. Converting their...
