- Pop-up window
- A new window that suddenly appears on your computer screen is referred to as a "pop-up window."
You'll see one, for example, when you open a new program, when you switch from program to program (that's multitasking), and when you use a drop-down menu. Likewise, a Web browser may launch a second browser that pops-up in the form of a mini-window on your computer screen. If you don't want it there, just click on the X in the upper-right corner and close it ;-)
- Portal
- Usually used as a marketing term to described a Web site that is or is intended to be the first place people see when using the Web. Typically a "Portal site" has a catalog of web sites, a search engine, or both. A Portal site may also offer email and other service to entice people to use that site as their main "point of entry" (hence "portal") to the Web.
