Marta, Try the sites mentioned in the November issue of Access (page 4). Parts copied here:
For computer abbreviations and acronyms, you should explore the Babel(A GLOSSARY OF COMPUTER RELATED ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS....Version 05C ) website at <www.geocities.com/ikind_babel/babel/babel.html>. Also try WhatIs (provides definitions for thousands of the most current IT-related words. Try Computing Fundamentals: General Computing Terms, Standards & Organizations.), at <http://whatis.techtarget.com/>. For an extensive list of file type extensions, look at <http://filext.com/> and <http://www.computeruser.com/resources/dictionary/filetypes.html>? For file extension information try /www.fileinfo.net/>. Other helpful sites: <http://www.techterms.org/> for the Tech Terms Dictionary which is not simply a dictionary of computer terms, but also explains them. ?While defining a word may be easy, explaining the word is more helpful.? Also The BMUG Glossary at <http://www.planetmug.org/glossary.html>. Anne P. S. And for those who are wondering what happened to the December issue: Santa's elves got it put together and ready for delivery in time; however, Santa's reindeer ate the copy (or so I've been told). It will be delivered along with January's. Better late than never.
