Has anybody seen these videos on Windows 2003 Server?

I was searching for a cheap(Actually free) way to learn Windows 2003 Server, and I came across these videos. They are not free, but only 10 bucks. The free demo video seems pretty cool, but before I bug my parents to use their Credit Card I would like to know if they are worth it? My parents are leary about using their card on the net. Has anybody seen these and are they worth it? Thanks

http://www.LearnWindowsServer.com

I found the site through Microsoft:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...d/default.mspx

Second link on the bottom of the page in the left column. If anyone has used these videos please let me know your thoughts. Thanks,

-Tim

A good book on the subject may cost a bit more, but doesn't need electricity..

S2K3 is real nice, by the way.

Most of the book I looked at are like 50 to 60 bucks. Do you know of one that is good and cheaper?

That's the going rate for a lot of good books on like subjects, alas, no, I know of no cheap ones. Found a great book on FreeBSD, too bad it's $50.
The best thing to do is get a copy of s2k3 and run it. Does M$ still let you download a trial of enterprise edition s2k3? That's what I had, like 180 days or so. Wish they made a workstation os out of it, dropping all the cartoon crap in xp.

So you think this Sam's book is really good? I found it here for only $20:

Does any one else think this would be a better investment than the $10 videos?

I just figured that I would mention that these videos are awesome just in case anyone else is curious. My Dad let me get them for Christmas. I learned a whole ton of stuff. Windows 2003 Server is really cool! The whole series takes a while to download cause it's like 80 megs.... We need a cable modem! I wish I could convince my dad that it is something we need.
