Client/Server

A computer running software that allows it to provide information to other computers is a server. Clients are the computers that run software - browsers like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer - that enables them to request info from the servers. Email, documents, and Web sites live on servers - they are the tender morsels that eager, mama-bird servers regurgitate into the hungry beaks of clients.
