LIST ALL
Welcome to the interactive glossay at Inside Computers. This glossary allows members of Inside Computers to post new definitions, allowing for collective information sharing.
If there is some acronym that most people might not know, or a special computer term which others would most likely want to know, go ahead and add it.
Because this is a "real time" interaction, Inside Computers can't monitor the boards 24 hours a day, but we will do our best to keep this information both
correct and edit it for content that could be offensive to others. If you are so inclined, every member is allowed to edit every user added post, so if
you think you can improve on a definition, if you want to correct a mistake others may have made, go ahead!
