Steve,

Good job on your analysis of the objectives. As mentioned in my earlier
response, those statements at the back of the study guide are objectives to be
met in a specific topic area. The bullets under the objectives are sub-goals
which define some of the thoughts for that specific objective. They are in no
way all inclusive but intended to provoke thought for those individuals writng
an examination or studying for one.

When it speaks about cost, it may be looking for a determination of whether a
process or feature is more or less difficult (or expensive) to produce or
implement.

Your discussion on jumpers was very interesting and informative. In actuality,
the study guide speaks about the requirements surrounding jumper wires, etc.

We have found that any confusion with the study guide has been related to one
looking at the objectives and seeing them as questions.

Again thank you for an intelligent and concientous reply. I'm positive that it
has helped Russ's study group.

Regards,
