We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.

SCSI

(Small Computer Systems Interface) pronounced scuzzy, a parallel interface which is the leading standard for connecting high-performance peripherals to PCs and Macintosh computers. SCSI interfaces can accommodate a combination of up to seven peripherals, such as scanners, hard disks, tape backup devices and more. While SCSI is the exclusive peripheral interface for the Macintosh, PCs support several interfaces in addition to the SCSI.
