2.0 out of 5 stars
Not What I Expected !,
By NicRic "rosierain" (S.F. Bay area) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Illustrated Computer Dictionary for Dummies, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
When I purchased this book I was looking for a dictionary full of words that a novice would not understand reguarding computers. Instead I ended up with a book with limited definitions and silly jokes ! If I had time I would have returned it ! Half the definitions I look up arent even in the book. Save your money and buy a better dictionary.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A great reference in addition to your library,

This review is from: Illustrated Computer Dictionary for Dummies, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
This book is exactly what the title implies. If you find yourself having little difficulty describing a computer term, then you can turn to this reference. Everything is in alphabetical order and comes with simple illustrations. Before the alphabet there are metacharacters any of these are described.
Due to the accelerating advances in technology many terms are not in this edition.
