A group of connected computers used to transfer porn and music files
between each connected computer. Any such computer maybe regarded as a
clerver (client and server). Watch out for the computers which have
"smokey" in their Identity.
Not forgetting that the topology of the network (Client/server,
Decentralised, Hybrid etc) will influence the overall quality of service
for sending or receiving immoral and/or illegal files.

It means a network which has a big fat mummy computer with lots of
little children attached to it. Typically the mummy computer will be
lean, mean and powerful, which rules out most Windows operating systems
(allegedly). The children are typically called dumb terminals as the
processing power is provided by the mummy.

Hope it helps, ps I got a Masters Degree in Internet Computing so I
speak the truth
