With nearly half again as much material as the second edition (no date noted), the latest release of the reference includes extensive coverage of Internet, Web, and intranet-related terms and acronyms; software products from all manufacturers; terminology relating to PC, Macintosh, and UNIX; hardware; and words relating to mathematical, mainframe, networking, and programming concepts. Of particular help to newcomers are the pronunciation guides, especially identifying which acronyms to pronounce and which to spell out. Well cross-referenced and illustrated. The accompanying CD-ROM contains the text, and is searchable by (surprise) Microsoft Internet Explorer. Quarterly updates and revisions are available on the World Wide Web.
