With the exponential growth of computer technology there has been a veritable explosion of related terms, definitions, and acronyms associated with the multitude of computer products, software, and hardware. Fortunately for those persons looking for a guide to this -- at times -- arcane argot, the Computer Knowledge Web site has developed this handy database listing many of these acronyms, definitions, and abbreviations. Clicking on any letter of their database from A-Z will return a number of acronyms, complete with definitions, and links to outside sites of note. The site also features links to a file extension database and listing of top country domains utilized by various nations around the world. Besides these basic functions the site also has a listing emoticons, which are ways of demonstrating an emotional state in plain text messages. Some of the more interesting examples include: 7:) (to represent Ronald Reagan) and P) (to represent a pirate).
