[Year 12 IPM] IPM ExamI vote for the quick reference card - nobody, even technicians, reads the manual unless they have a problem that needs fixing

  Yes Mark - point taken for Q16 

  Q10 - "When installing .... the computer support person needs..  "  
  The technical manual would not be required until maintenance was required or the damn thing doesn't work!! The technical manual is not NEEDED to install the printer.   Another slippery one!! Depending on the way you interpret the question.

  Q10 .any decent tech (and most of the dodgy techs) would want neither.



  but I think the answer they want is C. "tech manual"





  Q16 The answer they want would be B. USB 2.0 connection. 

  The question talks about how efficient the devices are not how long it takes the user to plug them in.

  I sent this email to the list at 3:05 --- ahhh don't ya just leeeerv edumail, Anyway - plese accept my apologies if you receive it twice

  At the risk of exposing my level of rational thinking at this stage of the year...



  Q 10. I tend to agree with David and choose C. a quick reference card.

  The question only refers to the installation of the network printer, and surely a computer support person would not need a technical reference manual to INSTALL the printer.



  Q. 16 I found totally ambiguous

  In terms of time saved then surely a wireless connection is less faster to actually connect (eg when I want to synch my phone with my laptop I bluetooth because otherwise I would spend 3 hours looking for the cable)

  Same would go for IR printer connections etc (I remember printing via IR at McKinnonSC and it certainly saved time by not having to connect to the network first to print - in 2000 - before the days of wireles network cards)



  I tossed up about the time savings in terms of the speed of a USB connection compared to the speed of the wireless connection but eventually decided that in MY work and home life wireless saves me time.



  In cost terms though you wuld have to go for the USB connection.



  That's my 2 cents worth for the multiple choice - I await with baited breath your contribution for the short answer section Mark...



  Cheers
