 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!

| Kernel Panic: Famous for defeating General Protection-Fault in a battle led by Major Malfunction in the Browser Wars.  Seriously, though, I want to leave some for everybody else!
