A typical mainframe computer consists of several cabinets full of electronic components. Inside those cabinets are the memory unit, the central processing unit, and input/output units. It's easy to spot the various peripheral devices: Separate cabinets contain the disk drives and tape drives. Other units are obviously printers and terminals (monitors with keyboards). It is common to be able to connect dozens, even hundreds, of terminals to a single mainframe.</font></td><td></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" height="1"></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td rowspan="5"></td> <td colspan="3" height="12"></td> <td rowspan="5"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"></td></tr><tr><td></td> <td><font face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" size="3">At the other end of the spectrum are <i>microcomputers</i> or <i>personal computers (PCs).</i> These are so small that they fit comfortably on top of a desk. Because of their size, it can be difficult to spot the individual parts inside personal computers. Many PCs are just a single box with a screen, a keyboard, and sometimes a mouse. You have to open up the case to see the central processing unit, which is usually just an electronic component called an integrated circuit chip.</font></td><td></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" height="1"></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td rowspan="5"></td> <td colspan="3" height="12"></td> <td rowspan="5"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"></td></tr><tr><td></td> <td><font face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" size="3">Personal computers rarely have tape drives; most operate with disk drives and printers.

Minicomputers are sometimes set up for use primarily by one person at a time, in a form called a <i>workstation.</i> A typical workstation looks very much like a PC. In fact, as PCs have grown more powerful and workstations have become more compact, the distinction between them has begun to fade.</font></td><td></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" height="1"></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td rowspan="5"></td> <td colspan="3" height="12"></td> <td rowspan="5"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"></td></tr><tr><td></td> <td><font face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" size="3">One last type of computer that we should mention is the <i>supercomputer,</i> the most powerful class of computer in existence.
