Geek-Speak Buster: "ISP"
ISP: Internet Service Provider.
It's the company that allows you to get connected to the Internet. And
by the way, the Internet is made up of three parts:
-
1. Email;
-
2. Newsgroups (called Usenet);
-
3. The World Wide Wait. Um, that is, "web."
So when we refer to "The
Internet" we're talking about all three parts. Your ISP can connect
you to all three. But the Newsgroup part is accessed differently using a
news reader (there's one built into Microsoft's Outlook Express email
and news reader gizmo).
