Things are getting shorter! In computing its not different. There are thousands of short forms of computer related words. If you would like to be a power user then you must have these short forms just right on your mind.
This abbreviations will help you to learn more about computer and its related accessories. when you are working with Dos command then you must have to use this kind of short forms. so no more manual computing, get those short forms and be a power user.
