Servers
Servers are used for a variety of purposes. Businesses use them to connect and/or run the computers in their scope. Internet voyeurs use them to start their own personal Internet servers or to run routers (they hold the Internet together).

Servers are like giant computers. They are composed of all HIGH-speed components. Servers are designed for multi-tasking and multiple processing. They typically have multiple hard drives, CPUs, and CDROM drives. Servers can be used by anywhere from 2-200 people at any given time. Unlike their ancestors which were contained in one large room. They can range in size from a personal computer to a file cabinet.
