I thought some of you without your own IT departments might find this free tech support book useful.
Raspberry Pi Press* originally released it though Wireframe magazine, but unfortunately, Wireframe magazine was shut down about a year or so ago.
However, it looks like you can still download the PDF directly from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which is free and legal to share under the CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 licence. (linked below)
If you prefer a hardcopy, you might still be able to find copies on Amazon for purchase.
