Dictionary of PC Hardware and Data Communications Terms

Rating:
Summary: Great to learn all the data terms
Review: I would have to say that this is the most used book in my office. We have the data down pat, but the telco's have so many terms and acronyms that I would not be able to talk to a telco person if I was not able to look up the TLA's after the conversation. I highly recommend this book to anyone - from beginner to the advanced.

Summary: Still Not Lifeless
Review: This "Dictionary of PC Hardware and Data Communications Terms" is really a great book for those that want to know more than just what an acronym stands for. All the entries are longer discussions of the technology, with loads of tables, dates, which companies support the technology, where the technology is standardized, what it competes with and what its shortcomings are. And all entries have cross-references to related entries in the book, and most have World Wide Web references as well. I use this dictionary for two years. Today it is old but still not dead.
