Compiled when I became frustrated while reading magazine
|
|||
|
|
articles, help wanted ads and equipment for sale brochures....all
|
|||
|
|
pertaining to computers....where the following Abbreviations and
|
|||
|
|
Acronyms were used and their meanings were either not known to me
|
|||
|
|
or were not immediately available. I have actually seen these
|
|||
|
|
combinations of letters used at one time or another in magazines,
|
|||
|
|
newspapers or handbooks. They apply to personal computers,
|
|||
|
|
mainframes, communications, programming, networking, etc......you
|
|||
|
|
name it. This list is free for anyone to use, but with no
|
|||
|
|
guarantees as to its completeness. That is why I am now requesting
|
|||
|
|
your help. Look over the definitions and let me have your
|
|||
|
|
feedback. If you can fill in any of the blanks that I have
|
|||
|
|
questioned; or, if you have ever seen letter combinations that you
|
|||
|
|
also did not understand, please drop me a note at the address
|
|||
|
|
below.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also if you find any errors, obsolete information or can
|
|||
|
|
suggest any additions or deletions, they will be most welcome. If
|
|||
|
|
you can help, my thanks in advance.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In the meantime, print out a copy of this list and keep it on
|
|||
|
|
your desk. I know you will find it useful. Updates to this
|
|||
|
|
listing will be issued three times a year; in January, May and
|
|||
|
|
September. You may download the latest version of BABEL from your
|
|||
|
|
favorite Bulletin Board. If any Bulletin Board SYSOP, Computer
|
|||
|
|
Club Librarian, Organization or Teacher sends me a formatted disk
|
|||
|
|
with a disk mailer, stamped with return postage, I will return the
|
|||
|
|
disk with the latest updated version of BABEL at no charge. See
|
|||
|
|
end of listing for additional information about updates.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Letter groups followed with " * " were used before 1965.
|
|||
|
|
At some of these, I have noted historical information.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
And please remember to ECAL.
