A general term for peripheral equipment connected to the computer, such as a keyboard or
external hard disk. The term "Device" also refers to components built into the computer itself,
such as the hard disk drive, modem, or LAN.
Displaying an intermediate color tone by combining several colors. For example, one form of
dithering is to create a gray image by lining up alternating black and white pixels.
Pressing and releasing the mouse button or touch pad twice in quick succession to display data
or execute a program or menu. The right mouse button is used to execute a double click.
The mouse button is held down while the mouse is moved to select regions, or to move
selected icons or windows. In the case of the touch pad, the drag operation can be executed
by moving the finger across the pad surface while the mouse button is depressed.
Software that provides the OS with information about a connected peripheral device (what type
of product it is, and how it should be operated), so that the OS can operate that device properly.
This software is also called a "device driver". The drivers for some peripheral devices are
included in Windows, but when the driver is not included, it must be installed in order to use the
device.
A DVD on which data can be written only once. Data can also be added as long as the volume
is within the writing capacity of the disk. Offers higher compatibility with DVD-ROM than with
