Synopsis
Averaging a dozen bolded main entries and cross-referenced terms per page, this concise dictionary is bound to be a handy reference when tackling ponderous computer manuals, browsing other computer literature (even that of Microsoft's rivals) or the Internet. Quarterly updates are available online. The back cover, but not the CIP, notes that this is the third edition. Tabs would have rendered it even more user-friendly. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Review
This dictionary defines all the standard terms that the average computer user--whether using a computer at work or at home--will find useful. The terminology in the guide spans topics such as hardware, the Internet and World Wide Web, computer graphics, networking, storing and retrieving data, e-mail, modems, and more. Definitions list the part of speech, acronyms, and alternative names and direct you to cross-references if necessary. The alphabetically arranged tabs along the sides of the pages make it easy to search for the term of your choice. Microsoft keeps the dictionary current by posting online updates between printings. This is a solid reference book that should be on the desk of all publishing professionals working with computer copy. It is also helpful for regular users who want to understand what the functions are that they are using. --Cristina Vaamonde
