Moving along.
Can not believe all the spelling errors in the last post. Bear with me on that. So we discussed taking what we already have and putting it to use. Do not get me wrong. If you have the spare funds and need a new system, then go for it.
There are more than three basic parts of a network. But for now, we will discuss just three. There are routers that connect you to your isp (internet service provider) and all the system on the network. They are really a combination bridge/router. Routers are sort of the traffic cop to the network. You have your desktop machines that you use directly to do your computing. The last devices are servers. These are computers you use indirectly. This is where you can store files you have created, files you want to access for say video and audio (movies, music and etcetera ), and lastly applications or software that you can access remotely. A good example is a web server such as the one you are accessing now to read the article. Servers are probably the best area where older computers can be reused.
