What types of computers are there?

Answer 1

Well, let's see,There are several Operating Systems, the most popular being Windows, (refered to as PC's) Mac OS, Linux and Unix. In terms of types, there are small, or not so small, personal computers that are not all that powerful. Conversely, there are small to large computers that will do darned near anything known to man. You might have seen on TV, the "super computers" that some government agencys use, and you've probably seen or heard of "mainFrame" computers. These are generaly large (like room size) very powerful computers. Interestingly, the newer Mac G5's and Intel Duo Core's are considered to be "supercomputers" because of the number of procesess they can accomplish in a short time ... a very short time!
