Nouncomputers
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A computer is a programmable machine that receives input, stores and manipulates data, and provides output in a useful format. Although mechanical examples of computers have existed through much of recorded human history, the first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940–1945). These were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs). Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Simple computers are small enough to fit into small pocket devices, and can be powered by a small battery. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as "computers". The embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are however the most numerous. The ability to store and execute lists of instructions called programs makes computers extremely versatile, distinguishing them from calculators. The Church–Turing thesis is a mathematical statement of this versatility: any computer with a certain minimum capability is, in principle, capable of performing the same tasks that any other computer can perform. Therefore computers ranging from a netbook to a supercomputer are all able to perform the same computational tasks, given enough time and storage capacity. From Wikipedia under the

If you run MSN Messenger or some of messenger program, that will be maybe another couple of connections. I've just looked on my PC, and I have 60 open connections to other computers. I am not connected to any network, just have my broadband access to my home. If you open a DOS window (Start->Run, type 'cmd' in the box for Windows XP, type 'command' in the box for some older versions of windows.) and type the command "netstat", it will show all open connections. You can also type "netstat 5" to make it refresh every 5 seconds (CTRL-C to stop). These connections are normal. If you shutdown all your internet programs, and see more… [cont.] Answered by Stefan C - Mon Dec 17 19:48:52 2007 How do I network music folders between 3 computers? Q. Me and my roommates have 3 computers, 2 are connected with wireless, and the other one is plugged into the router. 2 have vista and one has XP. How can i make the music folders on each computer shared, so I can just drag songs off the other computers onto mine? I tried networking it and it always ask for a password to access the other computers. How would I do this using XP and Vista ? Thanks!

You can try foldershare This program syncs folders between multiple computers and whats kinda cool is that you can invite ANYONE to access your files. However, you can define what kind of access he/she has. I run an anime group with it, and of course I want my admins and contributers to have write rights, but I don't want the people who just download to have delete or change or add rights. It works rather well. You could each share your music folders with each other, or you could make one massive folder. On a side note, foldershare is a great way to share things like My Documents across multiple computers. I have 5 computers and it is nice to have all my documents on every machine. What is even cooler is that I have a remote machine… [cont.] Answered by tech_guy_towt - Sat Jan 19 13:38:49 2008 How would I go about connecting two computers in order to share workload?
Q. I only have one processor slot on my motherboard, but I have another computer that is basically stripped of everything useful (DVD drives, ram, etc, etc). All that is left is the hard drive, motherboard and processor, power and the fans. I want to use this computer to share workload with my main desktop. I know I can't connect the motherboards or processors (Pentium 4s), but I know it is possible to connect the computers somehow.

You can either cluster two whole computers together or you can use specific hardware (motherboards with multiple CPU slots etc). Unfortunately you can't just bolt bits of your old computer together. Answered by Chris C - Tue Sep 15 10:46:52 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "computers" A computer is a machine for manipulating data according to a list of instructions. Computers take many forms, from early room-sized complexes to modern personal computers (PCs) and personal digital assistants (PDAs) to tiny embedded systems that add sophisticated capabilities to other devices like toys and appliances.
