Service Call Status Common (And Not So Common) Computer Acronyms The purpose of this page is to provide a resource for some of the more common (and some not so common) computer acronyms as well as some common computer terminology. A lot of these acronyms are in common usage on the Internet. Some of them are UT System or even UTD specific acronyms. Hopefully, this page will cut through some of the mystery of computer acronyms and terms and help you understand what technical people are talking about. I have tried, as much as possible, to steer clear of technical definitions and use layman's terms (so some "purists" may not like my definitions.) Some of the definitions use acronyms or unfamiliar terms too. As much as possible, I've tried to ensure that any acronym or term used in a definition is defined on this page. If you don't find, on this page, an acronym or term that you are looking for, please send me email . I will be happy to add it to the page.
