  Did the fall of IBM herald new competition in the computer industry or merely the rise of Microsoft? In which ways will increasingly intelligent machines redefine how people make decisions? What is kludge or public-key cryptography? And what do MUD, MOO and JANET stand for? This book is part of a series aimed at demystifying business and management. It aims to make computers comprehensible. This pocket book addresses key issues and cuts a path through the acronyms and jargon that surrounds information technology, from Ada to Zeroth.
