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.
