Review

This easy-to-read guide defines 1,900 terms with 4,000 cross-references. Complete descriptions of historical terms, companies, products, programming concepts, and online language often include the historical origin. This dictionary comes with a few helpful features: Terms that are specifically for either the PC or the Macintosh are noted as such, and phonetic spellings follow ambiguous words. If you want to learn about a specific area of technology, the introduction lists words by the category of computer science. Both beginning and intermediate computer users should find this guide useful.
