Críticas

"Pournelle, a columnist for Byte Magazine, defines and demystifies computer terms that non-techies commonly encounter as they deal with Windows and Mac operating systems, burn CDs and download files, share MP3s, take digital pictures, and use word processing and spreadsheet software." -- SciTech Booknews

Reseña del editor

1001 Computer Words You Need to Know explains and illuminates the essential vocabulary of computers and the Internet. This comprehensive, but never condescending guide to the language of the electronic age carefully defines and explains every term with a sample sentence, and many entries have supplementary notes. In addition, the book includes a number of quick miniguides to managing your online life - dealing with Windows and Macs (and sometimes *nix), burning CDs and downloading files, word processing, spread-sheeting, connecting to the Internet (dialup, cable, DSL, wireless) surfing, IMing and emailing, taking digital photos, coping with networks, memory, and drives, and just plain coping with your computer.
The backmatter contains an extensive list of helpful websites and an essay about online language and etiquette.
