Glossary of Standard Computer Terms

Bug: A cute little humorous term used to explain why the computer had your Shipping Department send 150 highly sophisticated jet-fighter servo motors, worth over $26,000 apiece, to fishermen in the Ryuku Islands, who are using them as anchors.

Graphics: The ability to make pie charts and bar graphs, which are the universal business method for making abstract concepts, such as "three," comprehensible to morons like your boss.

Hardware: Where the people in your company's software support section will tell you the problem is.

Software: Where the people in your company's hardware support section will tell you the problem is.

Spreadsheet: A kind of program that lets you sit at your desk and ask all kinds of neat "what if" questions and generate thousands of numbers instead of actually working.

User: The word that computer professionals use when they mean "idiot."
