In the box headed "I'm Studying For________" the third paragraph is in error.
The sentence beginning "For instance, roughly 18 percent..." should read as follows:
"For instance, roughly 18 percent of the IT Tech bonus exams deal with personal computer components, whereas 45 percent of the questions in the Depot Tech exams are on personal computer components."

Replace "Lower numbers are higher priority."
Replace
"Lower numbers are higher priority."
with
"SCSI priorities, from highest to lowest, are established as 1, 2, or 4 groups of 8 descending IDs, depending on the width of the address bus, which could be 8, 16, or 32 bits. The tricky part is remembering that with 2 or 4 groups of 8 IDs, each sequence of 8 descending IDs is larger than the last, but lower in priority. Therefore, with a 32-bit bus, the sequence of IDs from highest to lowest priority is 7 through 0, 15 through 8, 23 through 16, and 31 through 24. The ID 7 is always the highest priority, regardless of bus width. This odd priority-sequence came about for the sake of backward compatibility. Originally, the 16-bit bus had to be able to interoperate with the 8-bit bus but had no way of imposing its new IDs on the older technology. So, the new, higher-valued IDs could not trump the older IDs, and yet the descending-group-of-8 convention was maintained. Eventually, the 32-bit bus followed suit for the same reason."

Text Correction
Under "Bluetooth":
The first sentence, "Bluetooth is..."
Should read: "Bluetooth is a wireless standard that uses radio waves in the 2.4 to 2.485 GHz range."
The second sentence, "Class 2 is..."
Should be clarified. Class 2 Bluetooth technology does not require line of sight to operate. However, performance is greatly enhanced when the devices have line of sight to each other, as indicated on pg. 161, second paragraph under "Bluetooth."
