Russian vocabulary for the Internet.

[Richard Robin]

My advice is to order from Kamkin's or Eastview the Russian editions of things
like the Internet for Dummies (Internet dlia chainikov) or other such computer
books. Both places I mentioned have tons of these publications. Another
solution is to join a Russian usenet group (such as relcom.music), where users
regularly talk about the day-to-day use of the web. Just keep in mind that
usenet groups tend to use slang (e.g. mylo for e-mail, konfa for usent group or
list) more than others.
