Dos

Hi I need advice on a good book about DOS. I getting ready to go to school to learn more about computer, as part of a job placement program offered through the state I live in.. Since I became unemployed I have decided to pursue computers futher to learn more so I can hopefully get placed in a job that deals with them.. This will be a career change for me, so I want to start learning more here at home, before decide which computer related program to choose.. Thanks a bunch.

I have bought quite a few books from HalfPriceComputerBooks and always found them to be well priced with a good selection.

you are also likely to find some books at your local public library, DOS is old, so many might have donated their books to the library, but then again you won't own them
