Mary, <My implied definition of servers was anything that looked like a PC (including all those unix servers that looked like a PC) and that communicated with a number (from 4 to 40,000) of other computers that look like PC's as opposed to anything else that didn't look like a PC (AS400 as an example).>

Unfortunately, the line between mainframe and server is becoming more blurred, even from the server side. Intel/Compaq's new 8-way Profusion servers are an example. These servers are starting to look less and less like a PC these days. You may find this trend continuing slowly over the next few years.
