From the reviews:

"This book represents a unique attempt to help people to find their way through the ever-changing world of computer and telecommunications related acronyms. This book will be very valuable for the modern engineer and information technology practitioner and … very valuable guide for specialists outside computing and engineering disciplines. … A large number of illustrations make the reading and understanding of complex topics easy. Such a book should be part of the reference library of each computer professional." (Prof. Dr Vidosav Stojanovic, Facta Universitatis, Vol. 15 (3), 2002)
