The problem with learning hardware is that all certs require you to know ALL the hardware... even the crap that is completely ancient (ISA slots, anyone?). The newer hardware is no problem, as we deal with it on a constant basis.
Software is not as bad regarding having to mess with really old dstuff, but it is there. Windows ME, 98, 95, and 3.x, as well as the stuff that ran on it. Old software suites that no longer exist. Crap like that.
Your friend would do well to read up on legacy stuff to learn the history, and then get involved here to learn more about the new stuff.
