>>Are these for PCC classes?

Yeah, for PCC.

I actually torrented the TCP/IP networking book, but I couldn't find
torrents of the others (because they are too recent specialized probably).
Still need hard copies because they aren't so hard on the eyes. Kroenke 10th
edition IS very expensive, but I figure I'd give somebody more money than
they'd get from buy-back, and still save a few bucks. Problem with the PCC
teachers is they are really ambiguous as to what book you ACTUALLY NEED.
Sucks to spend 150$ on a book, just to have the teacher say the reading
isn't required. It makes a difference when you've got rent to pay and mommy
and daddy don't pay tuition.

Jesus, you'd think they'd open source textbooks by now, that way we'd not
only have 'real-life' scenarios in the textbooks lessons, but we'd also have
up-to-date lessons. Not trying to say that all of my textbooks have sucked
but some of them sure have.

good to know sylvania has a library copy unless in case i get desperate.
