DVD+/- RW

+ and - are just two different DVD burning formats used to accomplish the same end result. BOth are almost equally compatible on set-top DVD players, with the "-" format having a slight edge in test results I've seen. However, the best solution is to get a dual-format DVD burner that can do both, so you don't have to worry about it.

DONGLE
A device that attaches to a computer to control access to a particular application. Dongles provide the most effective means of copy protection. Typically, the dongle attaches to a PC's parallel port. On Macintoshes, the dongle sometimes attaches to the ADB port. The dongle passes through all data coming through the port so it does not prevent the port from being used for other purposes. In fact, it's possible to attach several dongles to the same port.
thanks to great site to get to grips with the many IT terms!
