Hi Harry,
>Calling what is really just a certain file, an `object' may be the `in
term' amongst programmers, but not at large.
When I talk to my auto-mechanic, and I describe the whatchamawhozits that
rubbing against the thingamabob... I understand why he becomes a bit
confused as to what is the actual problem. I'm not savvy that the actual
terms are "fan belt" and "radiator grille". I'm not a car guy.
The computer programmer jargon that you are complaining about *is* the
terminology for those computer programming components. So you'll have to
excuse using computer programming terminology in regards to computer
programming.
I recommend any introductory computer science book from your local
university.
Sincerely,
--Eljay
