Can anyone recomend a good free technical/computer dictionary add-on/widget/whatever-something that will allow mewave the cursor over a term to get a a definition? i've found some for a fee and some for macs, but couldn't find one for windows.

A quick search shows this add-on for Firefox. Not quite sure if this is what you want
