clock (The electronic circuit in a computer that generates a steady stream of timing pulses--the digital signals that synchronize every operation. The system clock signal is precisely set by a quartz crystal, typically at a specific frequency between 1 and 50 megahertz. The clock rate of a computer is one of the prime determinants of its overall processing speed, and it can go as high as the other components of the computer allow); watch (To monitor an e-mail conversation or newsgroup thread. The headers for messages in a watched conversation appear in a different color, which makes them easier to find in a message list) |
