The time it takes a computer to retrieve stored data.
Technically speaking, access time is the time interval between
the instant a computer calls for data from a storage medium
(such as a hard disk, CD-ROM, or the Internet) and the instant
the data is delivered. This can be a matter of seconds or minutes
on the Web, depending on the speed of your connection. If you
leave your computer and your browser stays idle for too long,
your ISP may automatically "cut your time off" and
you'll have to dial-up to get access again. |
