3 out of 5 stars CD-ROM doesn't work.......2007-05-04

I'm running Windows XP and I can't get the CD-ROM to work. A bunch of error messages pop up. I can't find any online support, either. Luckily, this copy is from my library, but if I had to buy a computing dictionary, I would choose either Webster's New World Computing Dictionary or A Dictionary of Computing from Oxford as both were were written more recently.

5 out of 5 stars A Must Have, Excellent.......1999-10-23

This book is so useful and user friendly. I didn't even get into the CD-ROM yet.. It is very thorough, informative and even funny at times. It is also intriguing makes you want to learn more. You will never regret buying this book!

5 out of 5 stars I passed my exams, thanks to this book!.......1998-07-28

The author must have a sense of humor. I found it very strange how a book that can be so serious is at the same time very funny. I loved reading through it. And it helped me with my exams. I have a feeling that the teacher was using it as a source.

5 out of 5 stars Nader--a verbal genius.......1998-03-29

Definitions & explanations are comprehensive and precise. Also, you'd be hard-pressed to make them shorter and sharper. Most recent edition comes with CD-ROM.
