Horrible, Expensive Textbook,
By J. L. Shipp "Book Lover, Foodie, Philosopher" (Richmond, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Information Systems Technology (Hardcover)
I cannot fathom why this textbook is used to teach students about Information Systems Technology. The format is bothersome and information contained within the book is inaccurate.
The author describes MIPS as the overall speed of a computer. This is erroneous. MIPS is a measurement of raw processor power, and the overall speed of a PC is not measured in MIPS. It has tacky business examples. In fact, it is business heavy but lacks updated business techniques and lacks in relevant examples. The writer needs to do his fact checking. Does he even work in the IT Industry?

Drivel,
By J Stuart Hobday (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Information Systems Technology (Hardcover)
This book tries to be all things to all people and fails miserably. To charge $140+ for this book should be illegal. Somewhere in the $6-$8 dollar range would be more appropriate.
