Are We Speaking Geek 2 U?

BM I get a lot of questions about what technical terms mean, so I thought I would start a glossary of "Geek Speak" terms so that we don't leave everyone out there scratching their heads.  If the definitions here still leave you wondering what we are talking about, send us a note and let us know.  Like wise if you have a question about a technical term, let us know about it.  Keep in mind that the following is a work in progress and will probably remain that way for a while.  After all, new terms come out all the time or I may have left one out or I may have to change definitions to be more clear.  --Dawn
