Anyone who communicates with the Deaf about technical things or the internet will need a dictionary like this one. I'm a sign language interpreter and often find myself consulting this dictionary, especially now-a-days. Internet, Modem and email are easy, but what about Digital, Analog and Format? This book, along with Costello's other dictionaries (legal, medical) are a must have for interpreters.

The drawings are clear and the explanations on the subject matter are pretty good. Some of the signs follow English and therefore are not conceptually correct. If you are not familiar with computers and/or networking be aware of that. Overall pretty good for the money.

This computer dictionary has been helpful in two ways, it has expanded my sign vocabulary and my English vocabulary related to computers. This dictionary is wonderful at defining the computer terms, and relating that term to the American Sign Language (ASL), sign. I highly recommend this book.

just wish to say this is the most complete dictionary for computers I find and is quite good. I recommend the others Elaine has done also. I never have any problems with her work/publishings
