So, is Norton Ghost have been replaced by Save & Restore?I take it you mean system restore? No, that has not replaced Ghost - they do two completely different things. Try using google.


Interesting how can I back up 100GB of data successfully without burning CDs/DVDs etc?If you don't know the answer to that one, you shouldn't even be thinking about becoming a tech at this point!


So I guess this is a better place for noob technician? :illogical Looks like I have to take two courses at a time. One crappy and another one for good experince with logic sense.Why? If the course if junk, where is the point in taking it? Much better to spend your money and time on something more worthwhile.

535600 2007-04-01 03:26:00 Most IT courses are designed to give you a foundation to build on, not teach you how to do the actual job.
Once you understand the theory, you understand things a lot better when experimenting with your own system. Once you have the theory and experimenting under your belt, you can try to get by on your own, but it is a much better idea to work with someone who has been in the industry for a while, and learn their way of doing things.

It is a pity that so many businesses are unwilling to give people work experience even when they are willing to work for free.

:thumbs:At the current moment, not all techs are good especially the techs from Telecom and Ihug . And some computer shop techs are pretty noob like I asked what's the performance increasel from CL5 to CL4 memory? :annoyed: They only said it's faster . performance percentage? And they said they don't know .
And from telecom, one time I called up and they said my router refuse to accept new settings . Take the router back to the shop and replace it .
And then what do I do? Hmm, I try all types of combination users on the ADSL Router: ie . . . . . . . . xadsl@xtra . co . nz etc . etc . But I find that it is working with this @xadsl . xtra . co . nz (Now that's a tech without replacing a Router)
Another one from Ihug, Hmm, that time I have no idea how to configure the WinFast(I forgot the name for that router) or something, I ring them up, and said I'm having problems with my router . They said that Router? We don't support that router .
Hmm, the next day, I did try to configure it myself and it worked .

Courses is to help you to pass the CompTIA A+ technician not becoming a pro tech but a noob tech with theory knowledge, so I guess you have to experiment things yourself . i . e . What is Norton Ghost? A noob tech will go to the computer shop and asked what is Norton Ghost . And a pro tech will use the internet especially Google our best friend have all the answers .
