E-mail
E-mail is short for electronic mail. It allows for the transfer of information from one computer to another. 
 
File
A file is a unit of (usually named) information stored on a computer. 
 
Floppy
An extremely common type of removable disk. Floppies do not hold too much data, but most computers are capable of reading them. Note though that there are different competing formats used for floppies, so that a floppy written by one type of computer might not directly work on another. Also sometimes called "diskette". 
 
Format
The manner in which data is stored; its organization.   
 
Function keys
On a computer keyboard, the keys that start with an "F" that are usually (but not always) found on the top row. They are meant to perform user-defined tasks. 
 
Graphics
Anything visually displayed on a computer that is not text. 
 
Hardware
Literally, it is any computer equipment that you can touch. Any piece of your computer that you can grab onto is hardware. Including the CD-ROM and/or floppy disks that your software comes on.  The physical portion of the computer. 
 
Hypertext
A hypertext document is like a text document with the ability to contain pointers to other regions of (possibly other) hypertext documents. 
 
Internet
The Internet is the world-wide network of computers. There is only one Internet, and thus it is typically capitalized (although it is sometimes referred to as "the 'net").
