Hi all, I'm looking for some ideas on how I could get up to date on the latest trends in the computer field. I was at a computer place looking at a technician job. They had a test that expected that one knew very specific information. This ranged from the latest CPU's along with comparisons and contrasts between Intel and AMD. Chipsets... Then there was information about sound and video cards/technologies... Operating system information, spyware/adware knowledge etc. I'd like to learn about the latest technologies in the computer hardware anad software fields. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Online resources? Reading material or ideas? Thanks, Bruce |

Just common sales people are expected to know at least that much. Where have you been?

I hope this doesnt come across as too harsh, but how is it you think you can be a technician without knowing at least some of that? Even computer hobbyists know a lot, even if they've never touched anything inside their computer cases.

I do know this stuff for the most part. I keep up with several technologies and fields... always doing my own upgrades, customizing my own computer. I just wanted to see what resources are most commonly consulted for information on the lastest bleeding edge of technology. I used to use CPU - as in Computer Power User but I'm not so thrilled with that any longer thanks, bw "DP" <nospamxx (AT) xyzddd (DOT) com> wrote in message news:iSKVg.29648$8s6.24808 (AT) bignews4 (DOT) bellsouth.net...

If you want a LOT of computer links, go to
http://dfeustel.home.mindspring.com/compindex.html
and scroll down to News. The ones above are the
ones I look at the most. I am biased toward AMD.
