5.0 out of 5 stars Great to have around!, 8 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Computer Glossary: The Complete Illustrated Desk Reference (Computer Glossary (Book and CD Rom), ed 8) (Paperback)

This is one of the most comprehensive glossaries around, I have seen nothing else for the price that even comes close. Every MIS shop should have one for quick reference.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book is incomplete in it computer jargon., 16 April 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Computer Glossary: The Complete Illustrated Desk Reference (Computer Glossary (Book and CD Rom), ed 8) (Paperback)

Many times I have read other updated computer books and have not found them listed in this glossary. I am an intermediate computer user that reads other computer architect books. If the word is listed it will often give a very good explaination. I have many times learned things from this book that the authors from other computer books didn't make clear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, provides a thorough understanding!, 11 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Computer Glossary: The Complete Illustrated Desk Reference (Paperback)

This book is better than all the rest. I checked out an even more expensive book, and it didn't even come close. It seems like there isn't a term missing and its EASY to understand too! A must buy.
