Sounds like you need an answer for a question in a class.
Supercomputers - used for massive number-crunching applications like real-time graphical mapping. You can find them in the University of Illinois Super Computing Center on the campus in Urbana.
Main Frames - used by large businesses, like corporations: Teledyne, General Motors, etc.. Very capable. They use peripheral computers (CPUs) to manage the I/O - that is why they are so fast.
Mini Computers - used by small to medium-sized businesses for data entry and accounting (mostly) plus point of sale. Your local KMart or WalMart undoubtedly has one. Safeway uses them in their stores too.
Micro Computers - You know, the "home PC" - Fourth Generation - uses Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) chips. Found in most homes these days.

Hope this helps, and that you get a good score.
