Yes... Yes... I know it is a catchy title
So since there are a lot of people who don't know much about computers and their parts I had added the most common computer abbreviations below. I will be adding definitions later on. Also, if you think I have missed any crucial terms, please PM me instead of posting... as it just makes it harder to look through a bunch of posts for the exact term.
Thanks
