[Eril-l] tech svcs glossary

[Jeanne Little]

Steve,

Yes! This is very helpful, and could be used for training our student
employees also! We talk in jargon so much of the time that sometimes I
forget they have no idea what I am talking about, until I see the puzzled
look on their faces. For them, it's like learning a new foreign language!

Thanks for sharing this with us.
