beginning of a line to signify a new paragraph in a document. Usually
about five spaces, tabs primarily are used to ensure equal spacing from

diskettes. When in a certain position, this tab, which is also known as a
notch, prevents data on the diskette from being overwritten or erased.
Tab

character that directs a word processing program or printer to move the
cursor or printer head to the next tab stop.

information in rows and columns that makes comparing and contrasting
easier.
Tablet
- Refer to graphics
tablet.
Tagged

computers. TIFF is a platform-independent format, which means a TIFF
image created on a PC can be viewed on a Macintosh and vice versa.
.Bit-map files, on the other hand are a graphic format for the Windows
environment. This format was specifically designed for scanned images and
is commonly used for that purpose. It also can be used in some
applications to save images created on computers.
Tap
- An access point onto
a local-area network (LAN).
Tape
- A strip of
magnetically coated plastic that stores data. Tape storage is less
expensive and has a higher storage capacity than diskette storage, but
accessing data on it is much slower because information is stored
sequentially, and the tape drive must be forward or reversed to a
specific point on the tape to retrieve data. This storage method used to
be popular as a main storage however currently is used mainly for backup.

Taskbar
- A bar usually
located at the bottom of Windows 95, NT 4.0, and Windows 98, that shows
currently open programs and allows you to move between programs. This bar
also will allow you to access most programs on the computer as well as
show you the time, date, and other helpful information.
Task
list - A menu that
appears in Windows 3.1 when users press the CTRL+ESC key combination
which provides a list of open applications from which to choose. In
Windows 95, that key combination opens the start menu.
Task
switcher - Refer to
task switching.
Task
switching - To change
from one active task to another without losing your place in the first
task. Task switching differs from multitasking in that programs switched
to the background do not continue to process information but can be
brought back to the foreground at any time. For example, if you were
working in word processor and you switched to another program, when you
return to the word processor, the cursor will be in the same place it was
before switching.

communicate with an office via telecommunications line. Telecommuting is
increasingly popular as the technology that allows works to work from a
company from home effectively becomes available. Many companies allow
works to telecommute a few days a week, but require them to work in the
office much of the time as well.

or meeting over telephone lines where users in separate locations can all
hear one another speak. Computer, audio and sometimes video equipment is
lined to the telephone systems to enable these conferences to take place.

in which a user is connected to a remote host using an Internet account
as if the user were directly connected to the host. For example, typing
telnet hostname connects a user to a host name "hostname."
After a prompt for a user name and password, the session continues as if
the user was at a terminal connected to the host, though the user is
actually connected to another site, using the Internet connect to the
host.

user, leaving the original file intact until the user saves it under the
original file name. Temp files are created automatically by applications
and usually are deleted automatically. In some cases the files are not
deleted and are safe to delete, temporary files will usually end with .tmp.

Thermal
printer - A printer
that uses heated pins to "burn" images onto heat-sensitive
paper. The pins are electrically heated and brought into contact with the
specially treated paper easily, instead of with great impact. The coating
on the paper discolors when heated in this way. These printers, used in
calculators and many fax machines, are inexpensive, but produce
low-quality, low resolution print. They are however, quiet and fast as
they print.
Thermal
transfer printer - Printer
that uses a heat element to transfer images from a thermal wax ribbon to
the paper. Pins like those in a plain thermal printer apply heat to a
colored wax ribbon which melts onto the paper, cools and resolidifies to
create the image. This type of printer is more expensive than inkjet
printer, but less expensive than laser printers. The cost per page
however, is fairly high. Thermal transfer printers can generate nearly
photo-realistic output.

a wheel, and is nearly indistinguishable from a typewriter product.
Thimble printers are cheap, but slow, compared to laser printers. Popular
before inkjet and laser printers.
Thin

three dimensions, but they usually have greater depth and richer output.
A 3-D audio device uses psycho-acoustic technology to "trick"
the brain into believing sound is coming from all directions rather than
from two speakers. 3-D video cards offer better graphics by using fast,
built-in hardware to do certain computing tasks rather than software to
perform some graphics calculations. The result is a more fluid image with
enhanced colors.
Throughput

of a full-sized image.

Time-sharing
- To give multiple
users access to a system at the same time. In a time sharing computer
system, a computer gives users its processing time one at a time in small
portions so it appears the activity is happening at exactly the same
time. This is similar to multitasking, but instead of one user and
multiple processes, time-sharing involves multiple users. Most mainframes
and minicomputers are time sharing computers; most PCs are not.

the right of a computer to send a message. It is analogous to a relay
race. Each runner must receive the baton before running. Each computer in
the network has to wait for the token before it can send the message.
Toner
- Dry, powdery pigment
used by laser printers and copy machines to form images on paper.
Toner
cartridge - Removable

right hand side of the touch pad.
Touch

communications among all computers on the Internet. TCP / IP is two
separate protocols, TCP and IP, that are used together. The Internet
Protocol portion of the standard dictates how packets of information are
sent out over networks. IP has a packet-addressing method that lets any
computer on the Internet forward a packet to another computer that is a
step (or more) closer to the packet's recipient. The transmission Control
Protocol ensures the reliability of data transmission across Internet
connected networks. TCP checks packets for errors and submits request for
re-transmissions if errors are found; it also will return the multiple
packets of a message into a proper, original sequence when the message
reaches its destination.
Transmission

doesn't require line numbers, as the original BASIC did, and includes the
advanced control structures necessary for structured programming.
True

series of logical instructions. Turning went on to propose that computers
could equal the though process of a human brain, if a set number of
states of mind could be determined.
Turning
test - Test developed
by Alan Turning, the inventor of the Turning machine. The test proposed
that if a computer could pass for a human in his test it could be said to
be able to "think." Turning's test involved putting a human
interrogator in a room with two terminals, one connected to a human the
other to a computer. If the interrogator couldn't tell the difference
between the two during his communication, the computer passed and
demonstrated human intelligence. So far, no computer has passed the test.
