I've been in the computer biz for many years. I've started with Teletype (CDC mainframe) and Apple ][ / TRS-80 (micro). It seems like the minicomputer - at the time - were just better microcomputers. There was always a chasm between main and micro, and it seemed to grow over the years. But, in the last 5 years, the micro moved into the server domain with up to hundreds of CPUs, lots of memory, fault-tolerant, etc, etc.

So, currently, is there a simple definition that separates a Mainframe from a well designed "highend" server (or supercomputer)?

PS: I am referring from a usability perspective, not really hardware.

I've heard that Windows XP requires more memory than other O/Ss for a faster, more efficient performance. If I had more user accounts, will it reduce the memory and affect the overall performance of my computer?

It would help me out with work because I have a ton of addresses and no names? So like a reverse search, but entering the address to get the number or name instead of entering the phone number.

My computer has been setup to receive automatic updates. Because of this my Internet Explorer was updated to 7. Since then, upon restarting, IE7 automatically starts and goes to to http://iesettingsupdate, which is actually a blank page. However, if I close it down and start IE7 again I am able to browse, but it eventually freeze and crashes.

Some months ago Norton Antivirus was removed from my computer; I mention this, because by reading some replies to previous questions, I've learned that this could be a reason for the problem.

If the problem is indeed due to fragments of Norton on my computer, how do I find out and how can I remove it? Also, how would I reinstall either IE7 or 6 without causing further problems?

FYI... currently I have Avant Browser, Mozilla Firefox, and MSN Explorer loaded on my computer, and I'm not really thrilled with any of them.

Thanks!
