I really appreciate this conversation as we are discussing the pros/cons of a server since we are upgrading everything now.

I'm not server savvy, but it seems to me that a server is just another computer that houses everything and all workstations would connect to...much like my computer functions now with the peer to peer networking.

If that is the case, what is the advantage of a "server" vs a desktop computer that only has the files and no one works on?

Many thanks,

Barbara
