Down: 1) Refers to any electronic board that is plugged into a larger circuit board called the 'motherboard'. For example a sound card is a 'daughter board' because it is plugged into the motherboard inside the system box of a personal computer.3) A zip disk is a removable storage device which can hold between 100 - 250Mb of data. It looks similar to a floppy disk but is slightly larger and thicker. A zip disk needs a seperate Zip Drive in order to read the data on the disk and save onto it. Zip disks are fairly old technology now and very few people still use them.5) A television technology term. Most televisons still use a cathode ray tube to display its pictures. A cathode ray tube works by sweeping its beam across the screen from left to right (and slightly down). This sweep is called a 'raster' So an engineer might describe a television as having a 'raster scan of 25 cycle per second'. This would mean that the beam is sweeping across the screen 25 times a second. If it was slowed down enough, then you would see a zig-zag of light going down the screen.6) This is a text related term. 'Kerning' means to adjust the gaps between letters that make up a word. Sometimes kerning is used for dramatic or artistic effect. Other times kerning is used to make some letter combinations look better when using a particular font.7) This is one of the ways of describing a colour, along with 'Brightness' and 'Saturation'. Hue, Saturation and Brightness can fully define a particular colour. Hue is the *main* colour of something (such as a pixel, or a light source). For example you would say 'that is a red light'. The hue is 'Red. On the other hand you might say 'That is a reddish light' by which you mean you sense the colour being mainly red, but it is mixed up with some other colours as well. Across: 2) This is an example of a new type of web site that has arrived on the Internet only recently, namely the 'Social Networking' sites.4) Unix is a widely used operating system. UNIX can be found on computers from laptops to the most powerful supercomuters. UNIX is designed with multi-users in mind, so it is really good at handling many people using the computer at the same time. There are many 'flavours' of UNIX because various organisations have developed their own versions that are slightly different from one another.8) Cache is a form of memory. It is used to speed up the way applications work. For example, Internet Explorer uses a cache to store all the web pages that you have visited recently including all of the pictures, sounds, videos and so on. So, next time you visit that page it will check to see if it is available in the cache. If it is, then it will instantly load the page from the cache rather than having to download it again from the Internet. This makes it much faster when you browse the Internet as it doesn't have to fetch every single file every time.9) Once the design specification has been written, the implementation phase of the Systems Life Cycle involves coding and testing the new system, installation, training and the conversion process.10) When a group of people talk in a technical language that non-specialist do not understand, they are said to be speaking 'jargon'.
