What's the difference between a browser and a server?

[Fred]

A server is ANY machine that offers a service. So if you have a printer connected to your machine and make it shared for ithers to print to it, your machine becomes a print server. If you have files you want others to see, you sett their folder shared and it makes your machine a file server. When you use the Internet all the material you see is held on web servers. when you send or receive emails you do so through a mail server. When you want to view material on the Internet you need a program which understands how to read the web pages. That program is a web browser. This includes Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome and a lot more.
