Talking The Mac Jargon Dictionary

For those new to the world of Mac, I am compiling a list of Mac Jargon and definitions. It will be in three volumes: A to H, I, and J to Z.

Feel free to add to it if you wish:

Airport Extreme: Passengers are fired out of a giant cannon; regardless of what their ticket says, they will land in Minsk, while their luggage will land in Bermuda.

Darwin: Evolutionary scientist who proved that all Mac-users are in fact descended from beagles.

iPod: Kind of like a tripod, except it doesn't have three legs.

iTunes: App that interfaces with the speech toolkit to make your computer say "gesundheit" whenever the user sneezes.

Open-Source: Any software used for getting ketchup bottles open when they've gone all gooey.

PRAM: Device for transporting babies.

Rendezvous: Turns setting up a computer network into a romantic wartime movie experience.

Safari: Any business trip during which your PowerBook is eaten by a Hyena.

Feel free to add to the list!
