Dictionary of Computer Terms?

"I'm wondering if there is a 'definitions' website that provides free definitions for people who do not know what every little computer term means. I consider myself something of a computer geek and I am the basic 'go to' in my company, but I have almost no knowledge of the technical aspects of computerdom. I just want a site where I can find a simple definition of a computer terms and how it pertains to what I am doing right now."

Yes, there are a few good sites for finding plain English translations of computer terms.

The Free Online Dictionary of Computing, also known as FOLDOC, is (according to its creator) "a searchable dictionary of acronyms, jargon, programming languages, tools, architectures, operating systems, networking, theory, mathematics, telecomms, institutions, companies, projects, history, in fact anything to do with computing."

Yes, but does it come with free steak knives?
