What is the difference between the personal computer and the server computer?
[Edit]

Answer

A personal computer is usually a stand alone computer in the home and is fully functional by itself. A server computer can do many things, usually used in offices, schools and any other establishment with several machines. A servers main existence is to connect other computers around it and proved services. Such as on a network at one of these establishments let say you click print on a word document, this would then be sent to the server and then sent to the printer nearby. I use to work for a University, they had about 70 servers, quite often a server will have one duty such as a web server which simply sends the websites you want to see to your computer. The Internet is made of servers that share data all day.
