i know that im showing my ignorance but I want to ask what would be the advantage of turning one of my computers into a server. what are some of the things that would be beneficial if i did that. i just dont quite understand the server idea and purpose.
hey mr savant. i see some of your posts about changing your trading style a bit. good luck with that.
If you have a server you can print a document off a different computer networked to the server and not have a printer (physically) connected to the client machine. Also you can serve web pages yourself if you so incline. Having a server in a configuration whereby you use only one machine and not a network is not useful in my opinion.
Well, I think the person's asking to be informed as to the general uses and benefits of a client/server configuration in a home network. Maybe even looking for specific comments, as applied to a trader's computing environment.
