内容简介：
For most people the words used to describe
computers are a whole new language. You
need a dictionary to read a computer
magazine or book， or even an
advertisement for a new computer. This
book is a guide to the words a beginner
needs to know in order to read or talk about
computers. For each word there is a written
definition and many of the words are
illustrated as well. The words have been
specially chosen for people using a home
computer， or microcomputer， and there are
also a few more advanced words to start
you off on more specialized reading.
All specialized subjects have their own
jargon so that experts can talk and write
about them. For instance， mathematicians
have maths words， musicians need musical
terms and engineers have their own
technical terms. Computers are such a new
technological development that lots of new
words have had to be invented to describe
things which never existed before. The
words have come from lots of different
sources. There are words from our normal
language which have been given new twists
of meaning， technical terms， manufacturer s
trade names， abbreviations made into
words and slang words. There s even a
jargon word for all these words-
buzzwords!
New words are being invented all the
time， so no book of computer jargon can be
entirely up to date. This book， though， gives
you all the words you need to gain a basic
understanding of computers and you will
soon find that learning about them is not as
difficult as the jargon makes it seem.
Howto use this book
The words in this book are arranged thematically， that is， by subject. For example， all
the words to do with programs are listed together， and so are the graphics words，
memory words and words to describe the parts inside a computer. The main subjects
are given in the contents list on the opposite page.
To find the explanation for a word you do not understand， look it up inthe
Wordfinder at the back of the book. The main explanation of the word is given on the
page number printed in bold type， like this. Other page numbers are places where
you can find out more about the word. In the text， words which you may not
understand are printed in bold type to show that they are explained in the book and
you can look them up in the Wordfinder.
