A great reference in addition to your library
This book is exactly what the title implies. If you find yourself having little difficulty describing a computer term, then you can turn to this reference. Everything is in alphabetical order and comes with simple illustrations. Before the alphabet, there are medical characters any of these are described.
Due to the accelerating advances in technology many terms are not in this edition.
