I own this book and I love it! It is very easy to use and has many common terms needed in everyday life. I, being bilingual, found this book to be very accurate in both definitions and usage of language. I would highly recomend this book to anyone needing an easy to read, accurate, and helpful guide to understanding the Internet and computer usage.

This "diccionario" is a welcome addition for Spanish-speaking computer and Internet users trying to make sense of English expressions and acronyms used (and abused) in this field. Indeed, a word-by-word English-to-Spanish translation is seldom enough, as computer terminology too often includes idiomatic expressions, cultural references, and plain jargon.

I liked the plain format without frills, and the simple, no-nonsense, highly readable explanations and definitions.

I HAD TO TRANSLATE A HUGE MANUAL INTO SPANISH. I DIDN'T FIND HALF OF THE TERMS I NEEDED IN THIS BOOK AND HAD TO USE OTHER SITES ON LINE TO FIND THE ANSWERS. SOME OF THE TERMS I WAS LOOKING FOR WERE COMMON WORDS, SO I EXPECTED TO FIND THEM IN THIS BOOK.

FOR THAT REASON ONLY I GIVE THE BOOK A '3' RATING. FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S POINT OF VIEW, IT MAY RATE HIGHER.
