Hate to bug you Scott, but any idea on when or if a 3rd ed. of UR Laptops will be published?
I'm guessing any UR Windows 3rd edition will be pushed back to incorporate Win8?...which is looking better as an OS than I had originally expected.

Windows 8 is better than I expected. I worked an overnight shift setting up 20 machines with it and the general public is being pretty receptive. I wish Scott could put out a UR Windows/Laptops every year but there is only so much time and supply/demand to go around. Don't worry Scott, we all look forward to what you put out and appreciate the continued hard work!

Like I said...better than I expected. That's a very relative statement. I think MS shot themselves in the foot with the roll out on this (especially the lack of downgrade options available at your typical retail outlet).
Personally, i'm still sticking with XP or 7. It's much better with a touchscreen or tablet form factor, but then again there are tablets for that.
I'm helping a friend track down an apparent issue with the app store being one of buggiest pieces of software MS has ever put out.

I'm not sure that 2nd place to Vista in awful-ness is a distinction they were seeking. <g> Scott.

so are you going to have any new books out for 2015-2026 or DVD videos. I'm getting boring with the DVDs I have now and the books i have now I have the 21st edition. When are you going to have upgrading and repairing laptops 3rd edition.
thanks your friendly neighborhood spiderman.

Indeed I do. I'm going to make a special post about it, but until then anybody that wants one can PM me, the same deal applies as for the previous new editions ($30 including free USA shipping). Scott.

Still haven't purchased but planning to Scott. Also I found today. I've had my A+ for years but still enjoy these books. I'm wondering if you are planning the release of a "deluxe" edition of this new one as well, like you did for the last version. According to that site the publish date isn't until 3-20-2016....

So tell people. You really ought to spend a little time updating the Books thread. Maybe combining them. http://www.amazon.com/Upgrading-Repairi ... em_1p_0_ti - July 15, 2015 pub date? Could have sworn I searched Amazon between then and now? Maybe I missed the announcement here?

I do need to update this topic, thanks for bringing it up! That is indeed the latest edition, and it has a new DVD with over 3 hours of content included. I have these available autographed for $30 each including free USA shipping. Scott.

The 22nd edition is still the latest. I don't like to comment on future editions until they are very close to being released. Scott.

Hello Scott... long time, no text to. <g> I was hoping to get out your way this summer, but sadly, my Dad passed away on March 28th, so that trip is on hold.
I was just checking to see if/when your 23rd Edition of Upgrading & Repairing PC's will be out.
I also have some more questions on the newer P-71 Lenovo Workstations. Do you still recommend Lenovo for a Workstation, or have you found something better? What is better... a laptop or desktop for a Workstation?
Hope all is well on your end...
Dave

Hey Scott, any chance of doing some type of video course again?. I still have your old one from I think 15+ years ago somewhere around here. Today there is so much wrong information out there on the Internet it's mind boggling. I've looked and always come back to you or your books for conformation. The majority of these Internet "Gurus" are flat out wrong and spreading mis-information like wild-fire. Thanks for all your help over the years. Please continue with your book series and maybe release a video course.

Thanks for the kind words. I'd consider a new video course however at this point it appears to be unlikely. Scott.

Hello Scott.... long time, no "talk" to. How's that sunny weather in Florida? <g>
I have a couple of questions if you have time to answer them:
1. Any word on your latest updated "Upgrading and Repairing PC's" book? I know you've probably been asked a zillion times, but it would be great to get up-to-date info on the latest and greatest hardware. Miss your videos too....
2. I stopped using CompuServe e-mail, but I recently found some old fcabinet. dat files that I would like to view before I delete them. I've searched all over the web, but I haven't found any ways to view the old files on a Windows 7 Pro or XP Pro PC. Any ideas on how best to view the old e-mails?
Hope all is well on your end in Florida with you and Lynn... thanks Scott. I'll check back... Dave
