USB
A new bus that is capable of transmitting data at a speed of up to 1.5MB
per second. Up to 127 peripheral devices can be chained together and con-
nected to the USB port of your system. The USB connection is capable
of transmitting both data and current, so USB devices can even be powered
by the power supply of your system.
VGA (Video Graphics Array)

tion of 640 x 480 lines.
Virtual Private Networking
A feature of Windows 98 that allows you to establish a secure “tunnel” of
data on the Internet.
WAVE Audio
This is recorded audio stored in files in a digital form. For example, when
you speak into a microphone connected to your computer, your voice is
converted into voltage and then digitized and stored in an audio file that
can be played back later.
World Wide Web (WWW)
A subset of the Internet which relies upon browsers to allow a user to see
images and watch video and hear sounds, rather than just view text. The
HyperText Markup Language in which it is written allows the user to jump
quickly from one point in the World Wide Web to another.
Write-protect
This is a way of preventing accidental alteration or loss of data on a floppy disk.
A 3.5" disk is write-protected by sliding the plastic tab that covers one of the
two little holes so that the hole is exposed (the other hole does not have a tab).
