Net +... computer basics

I'm into computers and I'm a very technical guy! I love computers and I love using it! Today I'm gonna talk about the different types of networks.
1. A legacy network:
- In a legacy network all of the processing takes place at the central computer. That means that anything you do... on ur computer... it all is actually done on one main computer.
- It's very hard to get softwards and other products for legacy networks.. most of the applications are custom built... and it becomes pretty darn expensive.
2. Peer to Peer networks:

See the simple explaination of this network... is that everything... is done on each persons seperate computers... All of the files are in their own computers... Each computer has the ability to transfer files to one another... that's why it makes file sharing and using one printer easier!

The last one I will be talking about today is About a WAN

WAN:
WAN means its a Wide area network... it covers a really big geographical area, it can be as big as the national or international level. They have low to high speed links... this is a great type of server and is very useful int eh internet world! Hope this was helpful... More later!
