Great book.......2007-10-10

This is a great book. Lots of hints on cleaning, etc. I have used it numerous times and it works!

This is a great resource book.......2007-09-28

I bought "Haley's Hints" after seeing it highlighted on one of the fundraising shows on PBS. We're already using lots of the tips in the book, and loving them. The only problem we encountered was actually finding the water softener (or washing soda). It does not mention any brand names, and most stores I checked didn't know what I was referring to. One other note of interest that I've discovered through trial and error...when it says use salt, use iodized salt...NOT sea salt. Apparently the iodized version has a critical component missing in natural salt.

Great Buy!.......2007-09-16

I purchased this book after seeing a segment on PBS. This book is filled with simple tips on how to organize your home. Several tips have become quick favorites. This book led me to purchase Haley's Cleaning Tips which have really been useful. I even purchased a copy for my mother who has enjoyed learning new tips.

Haleys Hints?.......2007-09-14

I was looking forward to getting this book especially after watching the PBS special, but I was so disappointed. I was really looking for good products for cleaning products(which I haven't found yet). I think that if he transcribed the show that he does for PBS and sells that he will have a much better book. I would only recommend this book if you already have some good home care books in your collection. This is not a particularly good choice for the modern family.

WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS.......2007-09-06

Great book for practical, efficient hints of all types. Lots of short cuts too. We all can use Haley's Hints in our busy daily lives.

Great practical solutions that WORK.......2007-09-17

Recommend this highly to everyone! I've already looked up lots of great tips on everything from cleaning my coffeepot to gettting rid of odors and cleaning all kinds of stains on anything! You can sure save money by having some basic chemicals and household items around! I'm giving copies as presents to family and friends!

Home remedies work (usually).......2007-09-11

Haley's Cleaning Hints really work. Well - about 95% of them do. Perhaps some materials have changed since the formulas were developed?

But - the hints that do work, work very well. And at a fraction of the cost of commercial cleaners. They are certainly worth a try. Good book - recommended.

Wonderful Earth Friendly Methods.......2007-08-23

THis book is packed with many frugal and Earth Friendly methods of taking care of myself and my possesions.

super helpful.......2007-07-05

This book is great. Already used a few of the hints. Don't know how I lived without it.

Fantastic information!.......2007-05-07

This book has given me some insight on using household items to clean just about everything. I have cleaned some things that I wished I could clean years ago, instead things were thrown out. This information is better than hiring cleaning services.

Excellent collection of comic strips, only 80 pages though.......2001-11-28

I really enjoyed reading the hidden (and not so hidden) political and social messages enjoyed in this book. Some of these were printed in MAD Magazine circa May 1994 and are just as entertaining now as then. I just dusted off my old copy and re-read it about ten minutes ago and I still laugh at it just like the first time.

In an effort to halt increasing media competition and decreasing audience shares, Branding has become the new mantra among television station and network executives. Broadcasting & Cable magazine states that Branding is threatening to supplant "synergy" or "convergence" as the queen bee of TV buzzwords. But since few television managers have had any formal training in the substance of media brand management, Branding TV: Principles and Practices goes beyond the jargon of branding to explain the essential principles underlying successful branding and offers many practical strategies to measure, build and manage television brand equity. For instructional purposes, the book pays particular attention to the local commercial TV station and its news franchise.

Book Description

Windows XP Professional is Microsoft's new business operating system. It differs from the home version in that XP Professional contains features such as: remote installation service and desktop, Windows server domain support, access control, multi-lingual user interface and SMP support. The Administrator's Guide will help you maximize your computer system capabilities. It provides instructions for performing a fresh installation, as well as instruction on upgrading from a previous version of Windows. You will find this book to be very procedure-oriented focusing on administrative tasks--the complete reference for administering Windows XP Professional.

Customer Reviews:

This book was designed for desktop administrators.......2006-02-03

This book provides a comprehensive, no-nonsense review of Windows XP administration from the desktop administrator's point of view. You will not find lots of funny jokes or humorous antidotes, but if you are looking for a serious administrator's guide, this book will serve you well. Highly recommended!

Excellent Resource for Administrators.......2005-02-19

Overall, I would say that this is an excellent resource for those wishing to enter into the world of system administration. Ford really goes in depth explaining the processes involved in administering Windows XP. I would recommend this book whether you are pursuing a Microsoft certification or not. One caveat however, do not buy this book if you want to be humorously entertained because this book gets right to the subject and includes step by step tasks, minus the stupid jokes.

Book Description

Focusing on the needs of the advanced technical professional who is responsible for an entire series of Windows NT, Windows2000 and Windows XP Professional, The Windows XP Professional Handbook is designed to be both a handy desk reference in addition to a content review for MCSE courses. This book provides readers with insights into how Microsoft?s latest enterprise-based operating system solves the connectivity and development environment challenges that system administrators and advanced users face everyday. It also focuses on how to solve the tougher issues that arise in organizations running multiple operating systems. In addition to the expanded coverage of the most challenging aspects of keeping a workgroup going, this hands-on guide also includes short case studies as sidebars, illustrating key terms and concepts from the content covered in the chapter.

Customer Reviews:

Not sure who it's aimed at.......2005-01-07

This is a strangely variable book. Some sections seem aimed at the veriest tyro, while others (befitting the series title "Administrator's Advantage") seem aimed at an administrator for a local network, though it doesn't seem it provides the gritty information needed to actually work with one. There is little to differentiate XP Professional from XP Home Edition, nor for that matter XP from earlier versions.

Even though this is a short book and cannot cover every topic or command, even those topics covered are done so sparsely, missing the details and nuances that are so important. Two simple examples, one I had to deal with and one I just ran across:

Columbus spends slightly over 2 pages, with 4 illustrations, describing how to add a shortcut to the desktop by invoking the shortcut wizard to browse to a program. (A) Once you know how to invoke the wizard, the detail is hardly necessary, especially for an administrator; or the details of following through a wizard, browsing, etc, could have been covered once at the beginning of the book. (B) Not only program (executable) files can have shortcuts; it's often very useful to have a shortcut to a document. Shortcuts do not have to be on the Desktop, but can be in any folder. (C) He doesn't mention the much more common and useful, in my experience, method of creating shortcuts by right-clicking on the target and dragging to where you want the shortcut created. (D) No mention of other useful stuff like what happens if you move the target.

He devotes slightly less than 2 pages to the operating system's virtual memory (a way of faking large RAM by making part of the hard disk look like RAM), giving a most basic and not very elucidative definition. The only suggestion for optimizing configuration is to change it to "system managed size". Now if it were that simple, why wouldn't that be the default and why would any manufacturer set something different? For a much more useful discussion and suggestions, by an MS-MVP, see aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php

There is a fair amount of high-falutin' jargon substituting for operational discussion/definition. About what one would expect from someone who describes himself as "responsible for analyzing and reporting on key trends in the B2B order management area of sell-side e-commerce."

So, recommendations? Though sometimes jargon heavy, this book is simply written, and for a novice to intermediate user may have some useful tidbits. But don't operate under the assumption it discusses everything you'll want or need to know, nor that it is the last word, or even the intermediate word, on those topics it introduces. It may serve to introduce some concepts of networking and other advanced concepts, and has a useful discussion of email (Outlook Express). This may make a useful, non-intimidating intro book, but should not be your last or your only book. It might also be a useful book for the executive trying to understand what the computer department is talking about without wanting to gain the knowledge to actually administer the system.

Excellent Reference Book For every XP User!.......2003-12-28

I've used this book for several classes at my computer school in Dallas and it's great for giving the student a quick overview of the fundamental overview of Windows XP including how to use networked resources. I've found that the chapter on troubleshooting TCP/IP connections was invaluable for teaching the fundamentals of networking technologies. The chapter on broadband technologies is also very valuable when teaching students about networking. I give this book two thumbs up!

Ideal for courses on XP.......2002-07-04

I found the book to be very valuable for an Introduction to Windows XP Professional class I am teaching. Calling it just a compilation of help files is inaccurate; there are many hands-on exercises and insights the author has provided from speaking with actual XP early adopters. In addition the networking sections provide the level of detail necessary for teaching a course that touches on TCP/IP. In fact, the two chapters on TCP/IP are very useful in that they give not just Microsoft's stance on the technology but also the technical background of how standards evolved.

Very useful for training purposes, I give it five stars! Students love it too!

Will get you started on Windows XP fast!.......2002-07-04

I don't agree with the previous review. The book is for novice and intermediate users. For people like me, that have little windows knowledge but wanted to set up a start up company, it was excellent. It explains everything in a straightforward language and it's nicely organized so you can use it as reference later.

Time and Money Wasted.......2002-06-17

This is a book full of Windows general usage information that targets novice Windows user, very little XP specific, and most of information you better read them from other alternative such as Windows Help which comes for free. It's poorly organized with redundancy and very little insights either technical or historical in the actual contents... One of the bottom 10% IT books clustered the bookshelf with good ones.
