Webopedia

Yes, you know the Internet uses TCP/IP. But do you know what that means? What's the difference between ftp and http? And what happens if your MBR gets hosed? (Trust me: you don't want to find out what firsthand.) The Webopedia helps you understand computer and Internet related terms well enough that you can explain it to a friend next time you get in contact via VoIP.
