I decided to share my knowledge with the uninitiated by creating the following brief, handy glossary: ALPHA: Software undergoes alpha testing as a first step in getting user feedback. Alpha is Latin for "doesn't work."

BETA: Software undergoes beta testing shortly before it's released. Beta is Latin for "still doesn't work."

COMPUTER: Instrument of torture. The first computer was invented by Roger "Duffy" Billingsly, a British scientist.
