I just couldn't resist. After completing dozens of practice questions
referencing error messages like "IE took a dump in Kernl32.dll" and the
answer is "delete all the .pwl files," I found this one refreshing:

You start your Windows 95 computer and the following error message appears:
"Himem.sys is corrupt or missing." One of the (correct) choices is "The file
Himem.sys file is corrupt or missing." Duh.

This stuff is making me silly. I'm taking A+OS on Friday.

Sorry for the intrusion,

Don't forget Murphy's exam law; the areas you knew the least about and
therefore studied the most intensively will not be on the exam. :-)
For me, it was laser printers on the hardware test. When I didn't get any
laser printer questions, I was ready to choke somebody! :-)

I like the error messages from Windows RG...especially the MS Word
assistant stuff... :-)

When I tested, the one question I got wrong in the hardware test was
in the area of electronics/electricity...I found that to be amusing.
