PC Jargon

I'm a newbie and I am finding myself overwhelmed with PC technical jargon. I've spent a good amount of time just researching terms. I just wanted to throw out a suggestion that might bennefiet other newbies of where to look for definitions of jargon and acronyms. Maybe it's worth being a sticky to point out some links or even just have a "Frequently Used" list of acronyms/jargon.

If there's already one on hear and I missed it, then forget I said anything and let me know where it's at.

Here's some places I look.

Thanks.
