Dual In-line Memory Module A memory board whose connectors on each side of the board are connected to different chips. This allows for a wider data path as more modules can be accessed at the same time. Directory A special type of "container" object that contains information about the objects beneath it in the HP-UX organizational structure. Basically, it is a file that stores names and links to files and other directories See also file. Disk A thin, round plate with a magnetic or optical surface coating on which data is stored by magnetic or optical means. See also floppy diskette, hard disk, CD-ROM disk. Disked workstation A workstation that has its own hard disk drive. Diskette See floppy diskette. Double click To press and release a mouse button twice in rapid succession. The amount of time that discriminates between a double click and two single clicks is usually user-configurable.
