I'm not overly happy with acronym lists in books, simple because there are a million on the internet, but a few came to mind when glancing at your list.

POP3 - This is really "Post Office Protocol, version 3". Because there is also a POP2 - POP version 2 (runs on port 109, rather than 110)

For a joke... IMAP - add to the description "An open protocol, not to be confused with MAPI" MAPI - A propriety licensed protocol from a leading desktop vendor; not to be confused with IMAP

Note alternate RAID definition: RAID - Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Indepedent Disks (Inexpensive was the original definition; Independent is a modern retcon of the term)

Potential additions... PPP - Point to Point Protocol MAN - Metropolitan Area Network (typically a fast - eg ATM speed - network connecting sites in an area - eg central London; faster than the WAN) SOX - Sarbanes Oxley (the bane of finance at the moment!) CNAME - Common Name
