Written by a leading business authority and consultant to the Oxford English Dictionary, the Business Dictionary of Computers is the only work of its kind that provides a clear, comprehensive multicontextual format that meets the informational needs of the specialist and generalist alike. Not only is a complete range of contexts for a particular word, term, or concept represented, the Dictionary's entries feature the most widely used definition first with remaining definitions listed by area of specialty. The Dictionary's detailed cross-referencing system not only directs readers to the term's synonym and abbreviation, it sheds light on key related terminology and appropriate usage of the term in question. Historically relevant terms, not presently in common usage, have also been included.

Ascertain the meaning before consulting this dictionary, warns the author of this collection of deliberately satirical misdefinitions. New computer cultures and their jargons have burgeoned since this book's progenitor, The Devil's DP Dictionary, was published in 1981. This updated version of Stan Kelly-Bootle's romp through the data processing lexicon is a response to the Unix pandemic that has swept academia and government, to the endlessly hyped panaceas offered to the MIS, and to the PC explosion that has brought computer terminology to a hugely bewildered, lay audience.' The original dictionary, a pastiche of Ambrose Bierce's famous work, parried chiefly the mainframe and mini-folklore of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. This revision adds over 550 new entries and enhances many of the original definitions. Key targets are a host of new follies crying out for cynical lexicography including: the GUI-Phooey iconoclasts, object orienteering and the piping of BLObs down the Clinton-Gore InfoPike.
