An essential guide for educated non-techie adults who need to deal with computers without the jargon and geekspeak
THIRD in the "Words You Need to Know" series, following
1001 Legal Words You Need to Know
and
1001 Financial Words You Need to Know
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.
Readership:
For everyone who uses computers in their day to day life
