Thanks to PC.net. More Detailed and in depth explanations and meaning of Terms can be found there. This really is a Short List of Common ones in use. Some of them are outdated but you will still see them around.
There are many, many more. I'm just trying to list most Common ones still in use, that the Hobbyist would use at home.
