A standard process, a set of rules & conditions that perform a particular function. A

Ex: FTP (File Transmission Protocol), IP Address (Internet Protocol Address),
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol Internet Protocol), POP (Post Office

This relates to the quality of a viewed image either on the PC Screen or printed
output. For printed images the resolution is measured in dots per inch or DPI. The
higher the DPI the better the resolution and better image quality.
A flash memory card that provides secure storage for your machine, which is also
popular with handheld devices such as digital cameras, cell-phones, and PDAs.
The lowest power state that the machine enters after the specified time without

TCP/IP stands for

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol

& is quite simply
a standard set of protocols that govern the basic workings of the Internet that was
implemented in 1982.
The TCP part is all about ensuring that data is transmitted correctly between 2
computers. If any errors occur these are detected & the data is retransmitted. The
data transmitted is split up into small portions called Data packets. The IP part of
TCP/IP is how these data packets are moved from one point to another. Each
computer on the Internet has a unique IP address & the data packets are moved
from the source to the destination through many different computers & this is controlled
via TCP/IP. This protocol is used on the Internet & also by computers which are part
of a LAN.
