users simultaneously. These are powerful computers and optimized to run maximum number
of applications at one time. These are medium sized computers smaller than mainframe but
much larger than personal computers. They can be the best solution for medium scale
organizations. Micro Computers. Micro computers are the smallest when size is concerned.
They range from Desktop, Laptop up to the palm top and even smaller ones. Because micro
