Try goggle for acronym:wimp.  It will take you to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIMP_(computing)

Nice trick.

I have a special Firefox quicksearch bookmark:

Name: Jargon File Search
Location: http://www.google.com/search?q=%s%20site:http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/
Keyword: jargon

So I can type "jargon wimp" into my location bar, hit enter, and get this page:

http://www.google.com/search?q=wimp%20site:http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/

First hit:

http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/w/WIMPenvironment.html
